Question

question 10
which of the following is a true statement about photosynthesis?
a there are three stages in the photosynthesis process
b photosynthesis creates a net energy production of 36 units of atp
c in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react with light energy to form photosynthates and release oxygen as a byproduct

Explanation:

Photosynthesis has two main stages: the light - dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light - independent reactions). Option A is incorrect as there are two main stages. Option B is wrong because photosynthesis does not create a net energy production of 36 units of ATP in a simple, direct sense as stated. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react with light energy to produce glucose and release oxygen as a by - product, which is the correct description in Option C.

Answer:

C. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react with light energy to form photosynthates and release oxygen as a byproduct
