Photosynthesis does not directly take carbon dioxide from respiration; instead, it uses carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. The carbon dioxide released during respiration by animals and humans can contribute to the atmospheric pool of carbon dioxide that plants use in photosynthesis. Thus, there is an interconnected cycle, but photosynthesis itself draws from the air rather than directly from respiratory processes.
