Question

which statement best describes the chemical change that occurs during photosynthesis? oxygen and water are converted into light energy. carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose. glucose and oxygen are converted into water. light energy and water are converted into carbon dioxide.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O+light\ energy
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). So, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis.

Answer:

Carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose.
