If there were no carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, what would be the most direct effect on plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Photosynthesis would be affected
Carbon dioxide is a raw material for photosynthesis. In the presence of light, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and release oxygen. If atmospheric carbon dioxide were completely absent, carbon fixation could not proceed normally, so food production and plant growth would be severely affected. Therefore option C is correct. The other options do not follow directly from carbon dioxide removal.
