Answer;

The above statement is false

Explanation;

Photosynthesis is the biological conversion of light or electromagnetic energy from the Sun into chemical energy. It occurs in green plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, and requires a series of biochemical reactions.

In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react with one another in the presence of light and a chemical known as chlorophyll to produce a simple carbohydrate and oxygen.

Fossils of what are thought to be filamentous photosynthetic organisms have been dated at 3.4 billion years old. Geological evidence suggests that oxygenic photosynthesis, such as that in cyanobacteria, became important during the Paleoproterozoic era around 2 billion years ago.
