The right options are; makes food for all organisms, adds oxygen to the atmosphere, is a source of medicines and fibers, is a source of building materials and it provides animal habitat.

Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and some other autotrophs use light energy in chloroplasts to generate carbohydrates (food) from carbon dioxide and water while oxygen is being released as a by-product. Photosynthesis is essential to all living organisms on earth because it is the main source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Photosynthesis provides animal habitat, it provides food for all organisms (directly for plants and indirectly for animals). Plants and trees produce their foods through photosynthesis and are used as medicines and fibers, and as building materials.  

Photosynthesis is important to life on Earth because it 'makes food for all organisms', 'adds oxygen to the atmosphere', 'is a source of medicines and fibers', 'is a source of building materials' and 'provides animal habitat'.

  • Photosynthesis consists of a sequential series of metabolic reactions by which plants and algae produce simple carbohydrates (e.g., glucose) and oxygen.

  • During these reactions, sunlight and carbon dioxide are consumed (i.e., they are reactants of photosynthetic reactions).

  • Photosynthesis provides biomass, which can be used as matter (food) by other organisms, medicines, fibers or materials by humans, and converted to renewable bioenergy.

In conclusion, photosynthesis is important to life on Earth because it 'makes food for all organisms', 'adds oxygen to the atmosphere', 'is a source of medicines and fibers', 'is a source of building materials' and 'provides animal habitat'.
