Question

In the photosynthesis of carbohydrate and oxygen
from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, which of the following statement is not correct?

1) It involves a redox reaction


2) CO, is reduced to carbohydrates


3) Water is oxidised to oxygen


4) CO, is oxidised to carbohydrates

Explain #plz ​

Answer 1

Answer:

3) water is oxidised to oxygen ✌️❤️

Answer 2

4. In the photosynthesis of carbohydrate and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll $CO_{2}$ is oxidized to carbohydrates.

Photosynthesis:

• It is a process in which plants intake Carbon dioxide and water from the surrounding nature. After that in plant cell oxidation of water takes place and hence, loses electrons.
• This process converts water in oxygen and carbon dioxide in glucose. Further plants release oxygen back to surrounding and stores energy in glucose molecules.

Therefore, in the photosynthesis of carbohydrate and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in presence of sunlight and chlorophyll $CO_{2}$ is oxidized to carbohydrates.
