How are almost all organisms on planet earth dependent on the process of photosynthesis?

Because, by the process of photosynthesis plants produce oxygen which is most essential for humans, AND the plants provide food for their own survival and growth, and thus provide a food source for humans and many vegetation eating animals which are another food source for human life.

∙ 12y ago1. Photosynthesis is used to produce food from light, this is the most basic foundation of almost all food and life cycles on earth (primary producers).
2. Photosynthesis helps moderate the carbon dioxide levels of the planet. Carbon dioxide us absorbed (and converted to sugars), the byproduct is Oxygen which most animal and plant life require to live

∙ 12y agophotosynthesis is very important because many life forms depends on it .plants need it for survival so if there no plants the ecosystem cannot maintain thus whole living is dependent on photosynthsises

∙ 12y agoPlants perform photosynthesis. They are able to take sunlight and make their own food out of it. Other organisms depend on photosynthesis indirectly through the food chain. Herbivores eat plants; carnivores eat herbivores; carnivores die and their decaying carcasses are picked apart by worms; worms help aerate the soil, which feeds plants.

∙ 12y agoPlants require photosynthesis to make their own food (glucose) from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. They use a process called cellular respiration to break the glucose down into energy that the plant can use. Animals require the food and oxygen produced by photosynthesis for cellular respiration themselves. Plants, on the other hand, need animals' carbon dioxide in order to photosynthesize. Therefore, all life on Earth depends on photosynthesis.

∙ 10y agoalmost all life depends on plants for the food chain to continue also all animals that eat meat would die because there would be no herbivores left

∙ 8y agoPlants, which make their own food through photosynthesis, are the basis of all the food chains and webs in the world. Without them, nothing else would exist.

What process supports almost all life on earth?
photosynthesis
What organisms obtain food almost entirely by autotrophic photosynthesis?
autotrophs
How are photosynthesis and cellular respiration related in terms of energy transformation?
Photosynthesis is the process by which organisms that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecules (e.g., sugars). Photosynthesis powers almost all trophic chains and food webs on the Earth. The net process of photosynthesis is described by the following equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
Can plants photosynthesise on Pluto?
No. There has to be sunlight, water, and CO2 for plants to begin the process of photosynthesis. There is almost no sunlight on Pluto, and no air whatsoever.
Why is photosynthesis nessacary?
All of we need food. We need food for energy. Photosynthesis is the process make energy.
What process supports almost all life on earth?
photosynthesis
What organisms obtain food almost entirely by autotrophic photosynthesis?
autotrophs
What is the process through which organisms obtain and release energy?
The process is respiration (cellular respiration). It breaks down the compounds called carbohydrates to release the energy stored there (which almost always originally came from photosynthesis).
What process do almost all living things depend on to supply them with energy?
Photosynthesis!

Is photosynthesis is the only way to balance oxygen in environment?
That is the major process. It generates almost every oxygen molecule
Where does almost all of photosynthesis occur?
almost all photosynthesis occurs in plants
Can plants photosynthesise on Pluto?
No. There has to be sunlight, water, and CO2 for plants to begin the process of photosynthesis. There is almost no sunlight on Pluto, and no air whatsoever.
What type of organisms carry out photosynthesis?
Almost all plants perform photosynthesis. In addition, organisms in the phylum Cyanobacteria (sometimes referred to as blue-green algae) can perform photosynthesis. Cyanobacteria are believed to have been the first organism to produce oxygen, and so are immensely important in the history of evolution on Earth.
In photosynthesis what type of organisms supplies almost all of the energy in the biosphere?
Plants. However, the main source of energy for the planet and mainly for the biosphere comes from the plankton in the oceans.
What element is released in the process of photosynthesis?
oxygen Photosynthesis gives out oxygen gas as by product. Almost 100% of earth's oxygen is given out by photosynthesis
What organism feeds on other organisms because it cannot make its own food?
A heterotroph (also known as a consumer) feeds on other organisms. Autotrophs (also known as producers) create food, almost always through photosynthesis.
