Answer 2

Dear Student,

◆ Answer -

During photosynthesis, CO2 is reduced.

● Photosynthesis -

• It is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy.
• In photosynthesis, plants take CO2 & water convert it into glucose & O2 in presence of sunlight.

CO2 + H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + O2

• In this reaction, water is oxidized to O2 and CO2 is reduced to glucose.

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you...
