Routinely, in nature, during a 24-hour period in nature, what substance do green plants continuously acquire and use? a oxygen b both carbon dioxide and nitrogen c carbon dioxide, only d both carbon dioxide and oxygen

1 answer

In a 24-hour period, green plants continuously acquire and use carbon dioxide. During the daytime, they take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, a process where they convert carbon dioxide and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. At night, while photosynthesis stops, plants still respire and release some oxygen, but the primary substance they continuously acquire is carbon dioxide.

So, the correct answer is c carbon dioxide, only.
