Question

    Which of the following represents photosynthesis?

    A water + oxygen → carbon dioxide + carbohydrate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B carbon dioxide + water → oxygen + carbohydrate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C carbohydrate + oxygen → water + oxygen Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D carbon dioxide + oxygen → water + carbohydrate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The process of photosynthesis is represented by the equation: Carbon dioxide (CO2​) + Water (H2​O) → Oxygen (O2​) + Carbohydrate (C6​H12​O6​) Plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a carbohydrate) and release oxygen as a byproduct.
