Photosynthesis supplies the base for
the one - way flow of energy through
the biosphere. Plants convert energy
from the sun into sugars, which
provides fuel for themselves and for
other organisms. Photosynthesis also
cycles carbon and oxygen nutrients
through the biosphere

Hello!! I'm always here to help!!

_________________________

The one-way flow of energy through the biosphere is made possible through photosynthesis. Plants convert solar energy into sugars, which they use to power themselves and other organisms. Carbon and oxygen nutrients are also cycled through the biosphere as a result of photosynthesis.
