Question

photosynthesis: energy conversion quick check
glucose is a carbohydrate formed by using energy to convert carbon dioxide and water bonded glucose molecules. what type of reaction does this represent? (1 point)
dehy dration synthesis
photosynthesis
cellular respiration
atp

Explanation:

• Dehydration synthesis is a reaction where two molecules combine with the loss of water, not related to converting carbon dioxide and water to glucose.
• Cellular respiration is the process of breaking down glucose to release energy, the opposite of forming glucose.
• ATP is a molecule that stores energy, not a reaction type.
• Photosynthesis is the process where plants (and some other organisms) use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
