Answer:Plants use carbon dioxide to make food

Explanation: Carbon-dioxide plays a very important role in sustaining life on Earth.

Plants use carbon-dioxide and water for photosynthesis in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce food and oxygen.

CO₂ + H₂O → O₂ + glucose (food)

This food is consumed by the animals and oxygen is used for respiration. Animals use energy from the food to do work and exhale back carbon-dioxide.
