Question

directions: select each correct answer.
during photosynthesis, plants take in light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water through their roots. which of the following is a product of photosynthesis?
□ oxygen
□ nitrogen
□ proteins
□ glucose sugar

Explanation:

The process of photosynthesis in plants uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and water. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{light energy}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). From this, we can see that the products are glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. Nitrogen is not involved in the photosynthesis reactants or products in this direct way, and proteins are not the immediate products of photosynthesis (they are synthesized later from other processes using glucose and other molecules). So the correct products from the given options are oxygen and glucose sugar.

Answer:

A. oxygen, D. glucose sugar
