Question

How do plants take in air and utilize carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and oxygen for respiration? How do they make the choice?

Answer 1

Plants capture sunlight to acquire energy needed to produce their own food.Photosynthesis uses light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Cellular respiration provides usable energy for the cell in the form of ATP. Water and carbon dioxide are products of cellular respiration.
