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: -Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2. Respiration takes O2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with CO2.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants take in – or ‘fix’ – carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. Some of the carbon is used for plant growth, and some of it is used in respiration, where the plant breaks down sugars to get energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Through the process of photosynthesis, plants do the opposite: they take in carbon dioxide for building their cells and release oxygen. Animals and plants are, then, dependent on each other for survival.)
Detailed explanation-5: -Plants remove carbon dioxide from the air via a process called photosynthesis.
