Answer:

Plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) and release oxygen for humans and animals to breathe in. Afterward, they'll release CO2 for plants to absorb, which forms a cycle.

Answer:

Oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Both light dependent and light independent reactions in photosynthesis create glucose. But, only light dependent reactions convert carbon dioxide to oxygen.

Light independent: Carbon dioxide + water --> ATP and NADP(Energy/Glucose) and water

Light dependent: Carbon dioxide + water + light --> Glucose(ATP and NADP), water, and oxygen
