Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -The component of air used by green plants to make their food is carbon dioxide. Plants utilise carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to make their food and release oxygen into the atmosphere in the process. This process is called Photosynthesis.
