Photosynthesis: The Process Of Respiration In Plants

If you are not a microbe, a human, or an animal, then you are most likely plant. Plants and trees cover about thirty percent of the planet’s surface, as stated in NASA’s Earth Observatory division. They use a process called photosynthesis, which allows plants to take energy from the Sun and later using it as food, as well as producing oxygen through the process of respiration. So how does it happen? The process of photosynthesis occurs as follows.
First, the plant uses the sunlight and the green color in their leaves to make sugar from carbon dioxide, or CO2, which is in the air. At the same time, the soil provides water and important minerals that are absorbed by the roots. This “food” is stored, while some of it is consumed. A curious fact, plants are the only living things that are capable of producing their own “food”, while also being able to be used as food for humans and animals.
The plants nourishes because of the energy that the sugar provides to it. The oxygen that we inhale is created by them, and in turn, the CO2 is created by humans and animals when they exhale, as well as cars. After that, respiration occurs during the night. Respiration is the process where the plant releases the oxygen into the atmosphere through its leaves. Finally, photosynthesis is a natural process necessary for the plants, while also necessary for humans. This process is something that occurs every day and every night. It repeats itself endlessly until the tree or plant dies. The trees and plants are important because the oxygen that we humans have been breathing since our birth was produced by them each day. Due to this process, life is able to be sustained on planet
