Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide to create oxygen in the atmosphere. Oxygen is what we breathe. We do a process called cellular respiration. This means we breathe in oxygen and breathe out carbon dioxide. Plants use this carbon dioxide to do photosynthesis. It is a never-ending cycle.

For example, a bunny breathes out carbon dioxide. The plant takes carbon dioxide in and gives out oxygen. The bunny breathes in the oxygen and then again breathes out the carbon dioxide.
