Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During photosynthesis, the atoms in the water and carbon dioxide ____ to form oxygen and glucose.
A
Change
B
Multiply
C
Rearrange
D
Disappear
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 Sun! The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). This process is called photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Part one: Photosynthesis Make a water molecule, H2O, by putting 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom together. Make a carbon dioxide molecule, CO2, by putting 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms together. Continue to make molecules until all of the colored pieces are used.

Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide, water and sunshine and turns them into a sugar known as glucose and oxygen gas. This is a chemical reaction in which the bonds holding together the atoms within carbon dioxide and water are broken, and the atoms are rearranged to form new substances.
