Question

Photosynthesis occurs in the plant’s chloroplasts, where energy from sunlight is captured and used to start a reaction that produces several products. What is one way that photosynthesis benefits all living things?

Answer 1

Photosynthetic organisms take light energy and use it to make their own "food". In this process they use carbon dioxide and light to make sugars and oxygen. This is great for other animals that utilize this oxygen and eat the plants for food.

Answer 2

Answer and Explanation

Photosynthesis benefits all living things because chloroplasts absorb sunlight. In photosynthesis, water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) both reacts to form glucose (C6H12O6) that is actually food for the plants. Therefore, all living organisms get benefits by eating a similar type of food that gives energy to them. All animals and even human gets much of minerals and vitamins from plants when it is consumed.
