Question

when cells perform photosynthesis, they transform energy from one form to another. which of the following does not takes place during photosynthesis? only one of these choices is incorrect low - energy carbon molecules, such as co2, are formed. oxygen is given off as a by - product. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of carbohydrate molecules.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis uses CO₂ (low-energy carbon) to build high-energy carbohydrates, so CO₂ is consumed, not formed. Oxygen is a by-product from water splitting. Chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate bonds. Thus, the incorrect statement is the formation of low-energy carbon molecules like CO₂.

Answer:

Low-energy carbon molecules, such as CO2, are formed.
