Plant Inhalation and Exhalation Once the carbon dioxide enters the plant, the process begins with the help of sunlight and water. During this process, the plant combines carbon dioxide with water to allow the plant to extract what it needs for food. The plant uses sunlight as energy to perform this chemical reaction.
In the process of photosynthesis the plants make their own food by using carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and soil.
The energy from sun light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen.
It's because there is no water left on the surface, which helps cooling down the planet and the atmosphere contains thick and excessive carbon dioxide which traps the heat, causing the planet to heat up.
