Question

which statement describes an interaction between the biosphere and the atmosphere that is related to photosynthesis?
during photosynthesis, plant roots take in water from soil.
during photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air.
through photosynthesis, energy stored in plants is released into the air.
through photosynthesis, energy stored in plants is transferred to humans who eat them.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water into glucose and oxygen. The biosphere (plants) interacts with the atmosphere by taking in carbon - dioxide from the air for photosynthesis. The first option involves the biosphere and the geosphere (soil), the third option is about energy release not related to the main atmosphere - biosphere interaction in photosynthesis, and the fourth option is about energy transfer to humans not an atmosphere - biosphere interaction related to photosynthesis.

Answer:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air.
