Question

which table identifies the products formed during photosynthesis and how they are used? four tables with options: glucose (stored as glycogen/ starch), oxygen (used in cellular respiration/ released to atmosphere); carbon dioxide (released to atmosphere/ used to produce o₂), water (stored as atp/ in plant roots)

Explanation:

1. Recall the products of photosynthesis: glucose (and other carbohydrates) and oxygen. So we can eliminate options with carbon dioxide and water as products (since those are reactants).
2. Analyze the use of glucose: Glucose is often stored as starch in plants (glycogen is more common in animals).
3. Analyze the use of oxygen: Oxygen produced in photosynthesis is either used in cellular respiration by the plant (or other organisms) or released into the atmosphere. But the key is matching the correct storage of glucose and use of oxygen. The first option has glucose stored as glycogen (more animal - related), the second has glucose stored as starch (plant - related) and oxygen released into the atmosphere (which is a valid use, as plants release excess oxygen). Wait, but let's re - check: The process of photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen. Glucose in plants is stored as starch. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere (and also used in cellular respiration by the plant, but the options: Let's check each option:

• Option 1: Glucose stored as glycogen (glycogen is animal storage), oxygen used in cellular respiration. But plants store glucose as starch, so this is less accurate for plants.
• Option 2: Glucose stored as starch (correct for plants), oxygen released into atmosphere (correct, as plants release oxygen during photosynthesis, and it's available for other organisms or their own respiration later).
• Option 3: Carbon dioxide and water are reactants, not products of photosynthesis, so eliminate.
• Option 4: Carbon dioxide and water are reactants, not products, so eliminate.
• Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the question is about products of photosynthesis and how they are used. Photosynthesis equation: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow[chlorophyll]{light} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. So products are glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$). Now, what happens to them? Glucose can be stored as starch in plants. Oxygen is released into the atmosphere (and also used by the plant in cellular respiration, but the options: Let's check the first option again. If the organism is a plant, glucose is stored as starch, not glycogen. Glycogen is for animals. So the second option: glucose stored as starch (correct for plants), oxygen released into atmosphere (correct). The first option: glucose stored as glycogen (incorrect for plants), oxygen used in cellular respiration (oxygen is used in cellular respiration, but the storage of glucose is wrong for plants). So the correct table is the second one (glucose stored as starch, oxygen released into atmosphere).

Answer:

The table with "glucose - stored in the form of starch" and "oxygen - released into atmosphere" (the second option among the given choices).
