                    7.  The importance of photosynthesis includes:
                      (a)  Oxygen that is released during the process of photosynthesis is used by other
                          organisms for breathing and cellular respiration.
                      (b)   Supplies the source of glucose to all organisms.
                      (c)  Maintains and balances the content of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases in the
                          atmosphere.
