Question
carbon dioxide atp what is the purpose of photosynthesis? * to provide oxygen for people to provide food for the plant to provide food for animals to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Photosynthesis is a process in plants where they use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (food) and oxygen. The primary purpose for the plant is to produce its own food (glucose) to use for energy and growth. While oxygen is a by - product (which benefits other organisms) and carbon dioxide is taken in (removal from atmosphere is a secondary effect), and providing food for animals is an indirect result of plants being a food source, the main purpose for the plant itself is to make food for its own needs.
