Question: Which one of the following process occurs during photosynthesis?
Options:
Reduction of carbohydrates into carbon dioxide.
Conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
Emission of light energy by chlorophyll.
Conversion of hydrogen and oxygen into water.
– During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose.
-This process takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells and involves the use of chlorophyll (the green pigment) to capture light energy.
🔴Additional Information:
– During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is used (not produced) and is converted into carbohydrates (glucose).
-The reduction of COâ‚‚ into organic compounds occurs, not the other way around.
-Chlorophyll absorbs light energy during photosynthesis; it does not emit it.Â
-Water (H₂O) is actually split during the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis, producing oxygen as a by-product, not the formation of water from hydrogen and oxygen.
