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.
