Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthesis does all of the following EXCEPT:
A
Make glucose for plants to use as food.
B
Takes in carbon dioxide through the stomata.
C
Releases water through the process of transpiration.
D
Radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis produces water as a byproduct. During photosynthesis, plants take carbon dioxide ( C O 2 ), and water ( H 2 O ) from the air and soil. In the plant cell, carbon dioxide is reduced, which results in the gain of electrons, whereas water is oxidized, which results in the loss of electrons.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transpiration occurs during photosynthesis when the stomata open for the passage of carbon dioxide gas. Carbon dioxide is a necessary component of photosynthesis that the plant must get from their environment. Water transported to the leaves is converted to a gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -The products of photosynthesis are: glucose and oxygen. All of the following compounds are necessary constituents for photosynthesis EXCEPT: carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-4: -The leaves of the plant release this oxygen into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis produces water as well. The oxygen atoms in the carbon dioxide molecules contain this water. The oxygen molecules emitted into the atmosphere are entirely made up of water molecules, not carbon dioxide molecules.
