Photosynthesis in plants converts energy from the sun into a chemical that animals are in turn able to consume and convert back into the energy they require to function. Photosynthesis also converts the poisonous gas CO2 back into its components, Carbon and oxygen. Both of these processes are imperative for animals to survive as they have no way of directly accessing the suns energy nor are they able to cope with high concentrations of carbon dioxide or the effects that this gas has in the atmosphere.
