In the northern hemisphere, climate scientists observe seasonal changes in carbon dioxide concentration with the highest levels measured in may and the lowest levels measured in october. hypothesize how photosynthesis can affect these changes in 3 - 5 sentences
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and glucose through the use of sunlight. During the summer months (May), there is abundant sunlight, warmer temperatures, and longer days, creating favorable conditions for plants to carry out photosynthesis. As a result, plants uptake more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing its concentration. In contrast, during the fall (October), daylight hours decrease, temperatures drop, and plants enter a period of dormancy. With reduced photosynthetic activity, the uptake of carbon dioxide decreases, allowing its concentration to rise. This cycle of photosynthesis and reduced activity during different seasons leads to the observed changes in carbon dioxide concentration.
