Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
True or False? The roots of a plant absorb carbon dioxide to use during photosynthesis.
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores called stomata. Q.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants, like animals, take in oxygen and give out carbon dioxide during respiration. Only during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hint: Plants perform photosynthesis in leaves to make their own food. They require carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to perform this process. It occurs in the chloroplast.

Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : During photosynthesis, no carbon dioxide is released; instead, oxygen is produced. <br> Light energy, water, and carbon dioxide are the three components necessary for photosynthesis to take place. <br> This is subsequently converted into glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.
