Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which sentence correctly describes photosynthesis. (assume there is enough sunlight)
A
CO2 and water combine and make O2 and glucose
B
O2 and water combine to make glucose and CO2
C
O2 and CO2 combine to make water and glucose
D
CO2 and glucose combine to make O2 and water
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is D. The energy from the sun enters the ecosystem when green plants, green algae, and phytoplankton conduct photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy in order to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.

Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the sentences below best describe the process of photosynthesis? In photosynthesis, plants use light energy to transform water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
