the process of photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to produce _____ and _____

○ glucose, oxygen

○ atp, nadph

○ glucose, hydrogen

○ water, oxygen

Explanation:

The photosynthesis process equation is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O + \text{light energy}
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\). So it takes in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce glucose (a sugar, \(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). ATP and NADPH are intermediate products in the light - dependent reactions, not the final products of photosynthesis. Hydrogen is not a main final product, and water is a reactant, not a product of photosynthesis.

Answer:

A. Glucose, oxygen
