Do humans depend on photosynthesis? Explain how, why, or why not. (1 point)

Yes, but only those humans that avoid meat depend on plants that produce their own food through photosynthesis.

No, humans cannot make food by photosynthesis, so they do not depend on photosynthesis for energy.

Yes, all of the food consumed by humans is plants or gets energy from plants, and plants produce their own food through photosynthesis.

No, humans rely on animals for food, and neither humans nor animals depend on photosynthesis for food.

The answer is the third option or "Yes, all of the food consumed by humans is plants or gets energy from plants, and plants produce their own food through photosynthesis." Photosynthesis is the process plants use to obtain their own food. Humans do depend on photosynthesis because not only humans eat plants, but animals. Some animals are herbivores which means they only eat plants. If plants cannot create their own food using photosynthesis, then the plant dies. Neither the human nor the animal can eat that plant.

Many animals rely on plants to eat and if all plants cannot perform photosynthesis, then the animals cannot eat. Us humans eat animals which means if the plants die, the animals who eat the plants die, and then humans die. Humans heavily rely on photosynthesis, so the answer is the third option.

Hope this helps.
