B
Carbon dioxide provides the carbon atoms that are fixed in the Calvin cycle to produce glucose — the stored chemical matter and energy the cell uses. Asking why CO2 is essential gets at how matter (carbon) is cycled into organic molecules and how energy captured from light is ultimately stored and used in the cell.
