What is combined in photosynthesis to make glucose?
A
H2O and CO2
B
O2 and H2O
C
H2O and O2
D
O2 and CO2
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product.

Detailed explanation-3: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O
