Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth large amount of energy ( about 174 PW). 30% of this energy reflects back and rest of it is absorbed by clouds, oceans and land mass. Thus, we can say that only some amount of energy that Earth receives from the sun is used in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that uses carbon-dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll produces oxygen and sugar. Hence, the given statement is false.
