Question

consider the formula for glucose: c₆h₁₂o₆. in the processes of photosynthesis, what supplies the hydrogen (h) used in the formation of glucose?
○ light energy
○ carbon dioxide
○ chlorophyll
○ water

Explanation:

During photosynthesis, water (\(H_2O\)) is split. The oxygen is released as a by - product, and the hydrogen atoms from water are used in the formation of glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)). Light energy is used to drive the reactions, carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) provides carbon and oxygen for glucose, and chlorophyll is a pigment that captures light energy.

Answer:

water
