Photosynthesis plays an important role in maintaining life in most ecosystems on Earth because it has an
impact on how organisms obtain their energy. Write a claim that supports the idea that photosynthesis helps
sustain life on Earth, and support that claim with at least one piece of evidence.
What is the origin of oxygen on earth? What would happen to earth’s supply of oxygen if photosynthesis suddenly were to cease?

- Why do autotrophs use photosynthesis? Photosynthesis produces carbon dioxide, which other plants use to make sugar. Photosynthesis absorbs oxygen from the air, which reduces the rate of climate change. Autotrophs absorb energy from the sun to make sugars for their own use. Autotrophs absorb energy from the sun to make sugars so that heterotrophs can eat them and get energy.arrow_forwardWhich type of organism does NOT photosynthesize? a. Heterotrophs b. Producers c.
