Plants utilize carbon dioxide (CO2) to perform photosynthesis. This is fortunate, because all living things produce CO2 as a byproduct of respiration and oxidation. If the plants didn't absorb it, it would build up in the atmosphere to dangerous levels, and life as we know would cease to exist.

What is photosynthisis and how does it change Earths environment?

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose while releasing oxygen as a byproduct. This process is vital for sustaining life on Earth as it helps to maintain oxygen levels in the atmosphere and plays a crucial role in the global carbon cycle by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
