Question: Earth's atmosphere is made of many gases. Which gas do producers use to make food?
Answer: carbon dioxide
Hypothesis: carbon dioxide is a kind of gas that can be found in the atmosphere and is used by producers to make food
Supporting facts: sent1: many means high in number sent2: green plants are a kind of producer sent3: to provide something means to be the source of that something sent4: in the photosynthesis process carbon dioxide has the role of raw material sent5: to perform a process can mean to use a process sent6: a plant absorbs carbon dioxide from the air to perform photosynthesis sent7: producer is a kind of role in the food chain process / in an ecosystem sent8: if something comes from something else then that something else is a source of that something sent9: where something comes from is a source of that something sent10: when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants , the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is reduced in the atmosphere sent11: in order for a thing to provide something that thing must make that something sent12: amount is a property of something and includes ordered values of none / least / little / some / half / much / many / most / all sent13: if something is made up of something else then that something else can be found in that something sent14: earth has air sent15: gases released during the use of fossil fuels causes global warming sent16: if an object / a substance makes something then that object / that substance is a source of that thing sent17: the earth 's atmosphere is made of 036 percent carbon dioxide by volume sent18: green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis sent19: atmosphere means air sent20: how many means what number sent21: producers pass materials they use through the food chain sent22: if something is required for a process then that something positively impacts that process sent23: carbon dioxide is a kind of gas sent24: if something is a raw material in a process then that something is required for that process sent25: taking in carbon dioxide is a stage in the photosynthesis process
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] if something is made up of something else then that something else can be found in that something [AND] the earth 's atmosphere is made of 036 percent carbon dioxide by volume [INFER] int1: carbon dioxide can be found in earth's atmosphere [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] carbon dioxide is a kind of gas [INFER] int2: carbon dioxide is a kind of gas that can be found in earth's atmosphere [BECAUSE] green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis [AND] to perform a process can mean to use a process [INFER] int3: green plants use photosynthesis to provide food for themselves / animals / consumers [BECAUSE] int3 [INFER] int4: green plants use photosynthesis to make food [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] in order for a thing to provide something that thing must make that something [AND] green plants are a kind of producer [INFER] int5: some producers use photosynthesis to make food [BECAUSE] if something is a raw material in a process then that something is required for that process [AND] in the photosynthesis process carbon dioxide has the role of raw material [INFER] int6: photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] int6 [INFER] int7: some producers use carbon dioxide to make food [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] int7 [INFER] int8: carbon dioxide is a kind of gas that can be found in the atmosphere and is used by producers to make food
