Question
which of the following is not a net (final) product nor a reactant of photosynthesis?
multiple choice
glucose
atp
oxygen
sunlight
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 overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+ \text{sunlight}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is an energy - carrying molecule that is produced during the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis but is not a net (final) product or a reactant in the overall equation of photosynthesis. Glucose and oxygen are net products, and sunlight is an energy source (not a chemical reactant or product in the traditional sense of the chemical equation's reactants/products).
