Question

multiple choice 2 points
co₂ usage by different plants
what happens to co₂ during photosynthesis?
it is stored unchanged
it is converted to water
it is used to make glucose
it is released by the plant

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$) in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose ($C_6H_{12}O_6$) and oxygen ($O_2$). The chemical equation for photosynthesis is $6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{sunlight}} C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$. So, $CO_2$ is used to make glucose.

Answer:

It is used to make glucose
