Which gas can be considered both needed by plants and released by humans?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Carbon dioxide
Plants use carbon dioxide as a raw material for photosynthesis, combining it with water in the presence of light to make glucose and release oxygen. Humans release carbon dioxide as a product of cellular respiration when food molecules are broken down for energy. Thus the same gas is taken up by plants and exhaled or produced by humans. Argon and helium are largely inert, while ozone is not the normal gas released through human respiration.
