Carbon dioxide is one of the unfavorable gases which will be released into
the atmosphere in different ways such as the burning of fossil fuel, factory emissions,
vehicle smoke, etc. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that will lead to global
warming, climatic changes, and acid rain. Photosynthesis is the production of starch
and oxygen with the help of carbon dioxide and water under sunlight in the chloroplast.
It is a natural phenomenon carried out by plants. Moreover, this is one great activity
conducted by plants, because they absorb harmful gases and release oxygen, which is
very helpful for the process of living for all organisms. A team of Chinese scientists
found a way to synthesize starch artificially in 2021, which is a great achievement in
the field of science. Therefore, here they collected carbon dioxide gas from the
atmosphere in order to conduct these reactions. This is a very effective method where
the useless, toxic, and harmful gases like carbon dioxide are converted finally into a
useful product. Therefore, this can promote the formation of a sustainable bio-based
society.
