What is the basis of life on earth?

Options

  1. AWater absorption by plants
  2. BNutrient uptake from the soil
  3. CUse of energy from sunlight by plants doing photosynthesis
  4. DRespiration in animals

Correct answer

C. Use of energy from sunlight by plants doing photosynthesis

Step-by-step solution

All animals including human beings depend on plants for their food. Have you ever wondered from where plants get their food? Green plants, in fact, have to make or rather synthesise the food they need and all other organisms depend on them for their needs.The green plants make or rather synthesise the food they need through photosynthesis and are therefore called autotrophs. The autotrophic nutrition is found only in plants and all other organisms that depend on the green plants for food are heterotrophs. Green pla
