Answer:

Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without photosynthesis, the carbon cycle could not occur, oxygen-requiring life would not survive and plants would die. Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere: It is their primary source of energy. The importance of photosynthesis in our life is the oxygen it produces. Without photosynthesis there would be little to no oxygen on the planet.

Reasons Why Photosynthesis Is Important

  • It is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere.
  • It contributes to the carbon cycle between the earth, the oceans, plants and animals.
  • It contributes to the symbiotic relationship between plants, humans and animals.
  • It directly or indirectly affects most life on Earth.
  • It serves as the primary energy process for most trees and plants.

How Photosynthesis Works

Photosynthesis uses light energy from the sun and carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere to make food for plants, trees, algae and even some bacteria. It releases oxygen as a byproduct. The chlorophyll in these living organisms, which also contributes to their green hues, absorbs the sunlight and combines it with carbon dioxide to convert these compounds into an organic chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is crucial in the relationship between energy and living things, and is known as the "energy currency for all life."
