Multiple Choice
Which of the following sets of words can be used to describe the outputs of photosynthesis?
A.
water, glucose, light energy
B.
carbon dioxide, glucose, chemical energy
C.
oxygen, glucose, chemical energy
D. glucose, oxygen, light energy
can someone help me olease
takes IN light energy
takes IN CO2
so
A is no good does not produce light energy
B is no good, takes CO2 IN, not produces it! Important !
C see nothing wrong
D is no good does not produce light energy
Certainly! I'd be happy to help. The correct answer is option C. The outputs of photosynthesis include oxygen, glucose, and chemical energy.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with this multiple-choice question.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. During this process, they also release oxygen into the atmosphere.
To determine which set of words can be used to describe the outputs of photosynthesis, we need to consider what is produced and what form of energy is involved.
Option A includes water, glucose, and light energy. While water is involved in photosynthesis, it is not considered an output. Instead, it is one of the reactants in the process. Glucose is indeed produced during photosynthesis, and light energy from the sun is used as an energy source. So, option A is not the correct answer.
Option B includes carbon dioxide, glucose, and chemical energy. Carbon dioxide is one of the reactants used in photosynthesis, not an output. Glucose is produced during photosynthesis, but chemical energy is not specifically an output. While photosynthesis does produce chemical energy in the form of glucose, this option does not include the second main output of photosynthesis. Therefore, option B is not the correct answer.
Option C includes oxygen, glucose, and chemical energy. Oxygen is indeed one of the main outputs of photosynthesis and is released as a waste product. Glucose is also produced during photosynthesis. Additionally, chemical energy is the energy form stored in glucose. Therefore, option C describes the outputs of photosynthesis accurately, and it is the correct answer.
Option D includes glucose, oxygen, and light energy. While glucose and oxygen are both outputs of photosynthesis, light energy is the energy source used in the process, not an output. Therefore, option D is not the correct answer.
In conclusion, the set of words that can be used to describe the outputs of photosynthesis is:
C. oxygen, glucose, chemical energy
