Question

organisms must take in nutrients and other compounds to perform cellular respiration; many animals do this by eating food and breathing in oxygen. but animals arent the only living things that exist. there are other living things including, plants, bacteria, fungi, and archaea. for now, lets looks at plants.
what molecules do you think plants take in for their energy needs (in the screens that follow, well take a closer look)? select all that apply:
carbon dioxide
sulfur
sunlight
carbon monoxide
water

Explanation:

Plants perform photosynthesis. The reactants of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), water (\(H_2O\)), and sunlight (provides energy for the reaction). Sulfur is not a reactant in the main energy - related processes (photosynthesis) of plants. Carbon monoxide (\(CO\)) is a toxic gas and not a reactant for plant energy needs in the context of normal photosynthesis.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide, Sunlight, Water.
