Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis and respiration are the two essential processes that allow life to sustain on earth. In a way, they are a cycle-plants help humans breathe by providing us with oxygen, and humans help plants “breathe” by providing them with carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-2: -Producers use carbon dioxide to make food in photosynthesis. Some of the carbon dioxide is returned to the atmosphere when this food is used for energy during cellular respiration. The rest is stored in the producer’s body as sugar. It becomes available to consumers for energy.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. 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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: Producers (including plants, some protists, and bacteria) synthesize food by converting carbon dioxide and water into sugars using energy from the sun or inorganic sources. During the process of photosynthesis, six carbon dioxide molecules are combined with six water molecules.
