Which of the following shows what happens during the process of photosynthesis?
A
water + carbon dioxide = sugar+ oxygen+ sunlight
B
water + carbon dioxide + sugar = oxygen+ sunlight
C
water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = oxygen+ sugar
D
water + oxygen + sunlight = carbon dioxide+ sugar
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: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.
