What is photosynthesis?

Plants use sugar to create carbon dioxide

Animals consume sugar to create energy and carbon dioxide

Plants use the sun's energy and carbon dioxide to produce sugar and carbon dioxide

Trees are the first plant to appear in primary succession

True

False

There is a greater range of temperatures in a forest compared to a meadow/grassland
