Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which gas is absorbed by plants in order to perform photosynthesis?
A
oxygen
B
nitrogen
C
carbon dioxide
D
helium
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: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores called stomata.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: The part of the plant that takes in carbon dioxide from the air for photosynthesis is the stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -The more carbon dioxide (CO2) plants and trees absorb during photosynthesis, the process they use to make food, the less CO2 remains trapped in the atmosphere where it can cause temperatures to rise.
