Question

The chemical reaction occurs during photosynthesis is _____________. a. CO2 is reduced and water is oxidized b. water is reduced and CO2 is oxidized c. both CO2 and water are oxidized d. both CO2 and water are produced.​

Answer 1

Answer:

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose
