The Process of Photosynthesis

Question 2 • First Semester Biology

Which is an example of why the process of photosynthesis is important to life on Earth?

Answer
A
Grass uses photosynthesis to produce glucose, which is used within the grass for growth.
B
Fungi use photosynthesis to decompose dead and decaying plant matter.
C
Ectothermic animals use photosynthesis to convert sunlight into energy for cell functions.
D
Green plants use photosynthesis to remove oxygen gas from the atmosphere and replenish the earth’s carbon dioxide.

Explanation

Photosynthesis allows grass to use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make glucose. The grass uses that glucose for energy and growth, and it can also provide food for other organisms. Fungi and animals do not photosynthesize, and photosynthesis takes in carbon dioxide and releases oxygen—not the reverse.
