Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Using carbon dioxide and water to create glucose and oxygen is
A
photosynthesis
B
Cellular respiration
C
diffusion
D
osmosis
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: -During photosynthesis, light energy converts carbon dioxide and water (the reactants) into glucose and oxygen (the products).

Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose, C6H12O6 and oxygen gas.

Detailed explanation-4: -Examples of photosynthesizing organisms: Green plants, cyanobacteria (earlier termed as blue-green algae), and different types of algae that essentially carry out phytoplankton photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is the process in which solar energy is trapped by chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the form of glucose. It is produced in plants where chlorophyll is present inside the chloroplast as trapping the solar energy initiates the process.
