Analyze: How does photosynthesis helps humans survive?

• Photosynthesis gives us oxygen so we can breath and glucose we can break down for energy

• Photosynthesis gives us oxygen, but we could eat animals for a food source

• Photosynthesis gives us energy through glucose and carbon dioxide which we need to breath

• Photosynthesis gives us light energy
