Question

Photosynthesis is a
a)catabolic process
b)parabolic process
c)amphibolic process
d)photochemical process
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Photochemical reaction, a chemical reaction initiated by the absorption of energy in the form of light. Through photosynthesis, plants convert the energy of sunlight into stored chemical energy by forming carbohydrates from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water and releasing molecular oxygen as a byproduct.

Answer 2

Answer:

Photochemical reaction, a chemical reaction initiated by the absorption of energy in the form of light. Through photosynthesis, plants convert the energy of sunlight into stored chemical energy by forming carbohydrates from atmospheric carbon dioxide and water and releasing molecular oxygen as a byproduct.

Photosynthesis, which builds sugars out of smaller molecules, is a "building up," or anabolic, pathway. In contrast, cellular respiration breaks sugar down into smaller molecules and is a "breaking down," or catabolic, pathway.
