Question

how can you say photosynthesis maintains balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

It is true that photosynthesis maintains balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

Explanation:

• We may argue that photosynthesis keeps the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide in check.
• A plant absorbs CO2 while producing oxygen while it prepares food. Thus, it here consumes CO2.
• In order to create food when there is no sunshine or throughout the night, a plant must use oxygen while emitting carbon dioxide.
• Consequently, plants use sunshine to absorb CO2 and release O2.
• However, in the second scenario, there is no sunshine, therefore the plant takes in O2 since the stomata are closed and releases CO2.
• So, both O2 and CO2 are kept in balance here.

Hence we can conclude that photosynthesis maintains balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as explained in the above given points.
