Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What two materials are needed for photosynthesis?
A
Water and soil.
B
Carbon dioxide and water.
C
Carbon dioxide and chlorophyll.
D
Peanut butter and jelly.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H2O) taken up by plant roots to CO2 to produce carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO2 is “reduced, ” or receives electrons, and the water is “oxidized, ” or loses electrons. Oxygen is produced along with carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-3: -Sunlight, chlorophyll, carbon dioxide, water and minerals are raw materials essential for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -When carbon dioxide reacts with water, carbonic acid is formed, from which hydrogen ions dissociate, increasing the acidity of the system.

Detailed explanation-5: -The raw materials needed for the process of photosynthesis are CO2 and H2O. 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight produce glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen.
