Question

as a natural resource, the atmospheres interactions with the biosphere play a large role in cycling gases. this is mostly accomplished through photosynthesis and respiration. use the drop - down menus to identify the labels in the image detailing photosynthesis. label a label b

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)), and water (\(H_2O\)) to produce glucose (sugars) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). In the image, the plant takes in water from the soil and sunlight. The gas taken in by the plant (Label A) is carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) which is a reactant in photosynthesis. The gas produced (Label B) is oxygen (\(O_2\)) which is a by - product of photosynthesis.

Answer:

Label A: Carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\))
Label B: Oxygen (\(O_2\))
