Question

the process of photosynthesis occurs when plants take in carbon dioxide and water to create which molecule?
enzymes
sodium chloride
glucose

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Photosynthesis in plants uses carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) and water ($\ce{H_2O}$) in the presence of light energy (captured by chlorophyll) to produce glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$). Enzymes are biological catalysts, not the product of photosynthesis. Sodium chloride ($\ce{NaCl}$) is table salt and not related to photosynthesis. So the correct molecule produced is glucose.

Answer:

glucose (the option corresponding to "glucose" in the choices)
