Answer:

The carbon dioxide enters the leaves of the plant through small pores called stomata. Once the carbon dioxide enters the plant, the process begins with the help of sunlight and water. ... Once the process is done, the plant releases Oxygen, or O2, into the surrounding air.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. ... Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration.
