Question

unit 2 exam 2025 - 26
photosynthesis uses sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into
○ oxygen
○ oxygen and high energy sugars and starches
○ atp and oxygen
○ high energy sugars and starches

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon - dioxide, and water to produce oxygen and high - energy sugars (such as glucose) and starches. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Oxygen is a by - product and high - energy carbohydrates are the main products for energy storage.

Answer:

B. oxygen and high energy sugars and starches
