Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a reactant in which process?
A
Photosynthesis
B
Cellular Respiration
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 is a series of chemical reactions divided into two stages, the light reactions and the Calvin cycle. During the first stage, water is used and oxygen is produced. In the second and final stage, carbon dioxide is used, and glucose isproduced.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O
