Question
3.1.9 - 12.e during photosynthesis, plants take in light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water through their roots. which of the following are product(s) of photosynthesis? choose all that apply.
nitrogen
oxygen
proteins
glucose sugar
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide ($CO_2$), and water ($H_2O$) to produce glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$). The chemical equation for photosynthesis is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ \text{light energy}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$. Nitrogen is not a product of photosynthesis. Proteins are made by plants through other biochemical processes (involving nitrogen - containing compounds like amino acids) and are not direct products of photosynthesis.
