Question
level 1 q3 what molecule do plants pull from the air that is used to make sugar? a. oxygen b. nitrogen c. atp d. carbon dioxide a oxygen b. nitrogen c. atp d. carbon dioxide
Plants perform photosynthesis to make sugar. In photosynthesis, they take in carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) from the air, along with water and light energy, to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Oxygen is a product of photosynthesis, nitrogen is not used to make sugar in this process, and ATP is an energy carrier within cells, not a molecule pulled from the air for sugar production. So the correct molecule is carbon dioxide.
