what does photosynthesis do? why is it important?

Answer 1

Animals inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Green plants are the only plants that produce oxygen and make food, which is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis means ''putting together with light.'' This takes place in chloroplasts, which have chlorophyll in them. Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. From sunlight, green plants combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and oxygen. Green plants use sugar to make starch, fats, and proteins. There are tiny pores called stomota. Oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and leave through the stomata.

Importance of Photosynthesis

Animals and plants both synthesize fats and proteins from carbohydrates; thus glucose is a basic energy source for all living organisms. The oxygen released (with water vapor, in transpiration) as a photosynthetic byproduct, principally of phytoplankton, provides most of the atmospheric oxygen vital to respiration in plants and animals, and animals in turn produce carbon dioxide necessary to plants. Photosynthesis can therefore be considered the ultimate source of life for nearly all plants and animals by providing the source of energy that drives all their metabolic processes.

Answer 2

the plant uses the process of photosynthesis to produce food/energy. The chlorophyll in the plant uses sun energy to produce sugars which "feed" the plant. IT is important b/c without photosynthesis the plant will die.

Answer 3

Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and turns it into glucose and oxygen, both of which are used by other organisms during cellular respiration. Therefore it is extremely important.

Answer 4

Animals can not create their possess meals/vigor that's very nearly what the photosynthesis method is for vegetation. By consuming vegetation, animals get the meals/vigor they have got to role and live to tell the tale from the carbohydrates produced by way of the vegetation for the period of photosynthesis.

Answer 5

converts sunlight energy into sugar. All life needs to eat plants somehow ( a deer eats grass then a wolf eats the deer so the wolf technically ate the grass)

Answer 6

photosenthisis is when plant make there own food and it is important because if they didnt make there own food,we wouldnt have alot of food that we have now cause it grown from trees and vines
