Question

the light energy captured by chlorophyll is used to power the series of chemical reactions that make up photosynthesis. in these reactions, the atoms in water and carbon dioxide are broken down and rearranged to form sugars and oxygen. a plants cells use the sugars as food and release the oxygen into the environment.
sort the tiles into the correct column. some tiles may not belong in either column.
sugars chlorophyll oxygen water carbon dioxide
molecules that are broken down during photosynthesis
molecules that are formed during photosynthesis

Explanation:

According to the text, in photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide are broken down, and sugars and oxygen are formed. Chlorophyll is used to capture light energy but is not broken down or formed as a result of the chemical reactions described for the molecules in the tiles.

Answer:

• Molecules that are broken down during photosynthesis: water, carbon dioxide
• Molecules that are formed during photosynthesis: sugars, oxygen
