PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Can photosynthesis occur with only carbon dioxide and sunlight? (No Water)?
A
Yes
B
No
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose. These sugar molecules contain the energy that living things need to survive.

Detailed explanation-3: -Short answer…it dies. Water is needed for photosynthesis, the process by which a plant uses sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into energy! The byproduct of this process, lucky for us, is oxygen. Water also keeps the plant rigid.

Detailed explanation-4: -Researchers have developed an electrocatalytic process to allow plants to undergo photosynthesis without sunlight. This form of artificial photosynthesis may increase the efficiency with which food crops are raised. It is well understood that plants need water, carbon dioxide and sunlight to grow.
