Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which sentence correctly describes photosynthesis. (assume there is enough sunlight)
A
CO2 and water combine and make O2 and glucose
B
O2 and water combine to make glucose and CO2
C
O2 and CO2 combine to make water and glucose
D
CO2 and glucose combine to make O2 and water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Sunlight, carbon dioxide, chlorophyll, and water are necessary and Leaves carry out photosynthesis are the correct pair of sentences that are true to photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide. Oxygen is released as a byproduct.
