Question

in the process of photosynthesis, what is combined with carbon dioxide to produce glucose?
nitrogen
phosphorus
water

Explanation:

The photosynthesis equation is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{light energy}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). Here, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) combines with water (\(H_2O\)) to produce glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen. Nitrogen and phosphorus are not reactants in the photosynthesis process for glucose production.

Answer:

water (the option with "water" as the text)
