Photosynthesis is the process that a plant undergoes to make energy for it self. The plant makes sugar (glucose) for it self and oxygen is the waste product. The oxygen is then released into the atmosphere.

What elements are most organisms are able to take from the atmosphere?

Most organisms are able to take oxygen from the atmosphere through respiration. Plants are able to take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis.


Do plants take in carbon dioxide from the air?

Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to use in the dark reactions (Calvin Cycle) of photosynthesis, and oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct of photosynthesis.


Does photosynthesis contribute to the addition of carbon to the atmosphere?

Yes, photosynthesis does contribute to the addition of carbon to the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and convert it into glucose, releasing oxygen as a byproduct. When plants are burned or decompose, the carbon stored in them is released back into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.


How did the oxygen in your atmosphere get there?

The way the oxygen got into our atmosphere is when the green plants do photosynthesis. Green plants take in carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water to make glucose and of course oxygen. After a while, the plants did enough photosynthesis that the earth got an atmosphere .


Does oxygen can enter the atmosphere during cellular respiration or photosynthesis?

Oxygen is released into the atmosphere during photosynthesis when plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. During cellular respiration, organisms take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.


How do plants take in carbon from the atmosphere?

Plants take in carbon from the atmosphere through a process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the air into glucose, a type of sugar that the plant can use for energy. This process helps plants grow and also helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


What 2 processes that cause carbon to move out of the atmosphere?

photosynthesis: plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis and use it to build carbohydrates.dissolving: carbon dioxide dissolves in rainwater and oceans.


What gas is released into earth's atmosphere because of photosynthesis?

Oxygen or O2Oxygen is produced by the process of photosynthesis.


Can oxygen can enter the atmosphere during photosynthesis?

Yes oxygen enters the air during photosynthesis after the plant has produced sugar it releases oxygen


When organisms began using photosynthesis what gas was added to the atmosphere as a result?

Oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis and is the gas that rose in abundance in the atmosphere due to the process of photosynthesis.


Name one way the biosphere and the atmosphere interact?

Plants in the biosphere interact with the atmosphere through photosynthesis, where they take in carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen.


Which atmosphere gas is photosynthesis the major source of?

Oxygen is the major source of photosynthesis in the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants and other photosynthetic organisms convert carbon dioxide into oxygen through the process of photosynthesis. This oxygen is then released into the air, replenishing the levels in the atmosphere.
