Photosynthesis is important because ____
A
it makes carbon dioxide
B
it makes food for the food webs
C
it makes water
D
it’s not important
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants that have photosynthesis are supplying us with the first product of the food chain. Not only that, they are the source for oxygen, the food we eat, our clothes, and even our furniture, among other things. Plants also remove greenhouse gas from the air, provide habitat to many animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet’s living systems are powered by this process. It’s not particularly efficient by human engineering standards, but it does the job.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers make up the first trophic level. Producers, also known as autotrophs, make their own food and do not depend on any other organism for nutrition. Most autotrophs use a process called photosynthesis to create food (a nutrient called glucose) from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.
