During photosynthesis, plants use energy from the Sun to change carbon dioxide and water into food and oxygen. The oxygen that is produced during photosynthesis is essential to the survival of many living organisms because it is needed for

• cellular respiration.
• sulfur reduction.
• lactic acidosis.
• fermentation.
