Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Why is photosynthesis important?
A
creates oxygen for animals to breath
B
creates energy for heterotrophs to use
C
creates food for plants to use
D
all of these are correct
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Additionally, almost all the oxygen in the atmosphere is due to the process of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis ceased, there would soon be little food or other organic matter on Earth, most organisms would disappear, and Earth’s atmosphere would eventually become nearly devoid of gaseous oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels. Without this process, life on Earth as we know it would not be possible.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chlorophyll, the primary pigment used in photosynthesis, reflects green light and absorbs red and blue light most strongly. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.
