Which atmospheric gas is necessary for food formation in plants?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Carbon dioxide
Plants use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere during photosynthesis. With water, chlorophyll and light energy, carbon dioxide is converted into glucose, which is used to make and store food; oxygen is released as a by-product. Oxygen is mainly required for respiration, nitrogen is absorbed through soil-based compounds, and water vapour is not the carbon source. Thus, option C is correct.
