Question

Which statement correctly explains the process of
photosynthesis in plants?
(a) In the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll uses
water and oxygen to produce carbohydrate.
(b)In the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll uses
oxygen and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate.
(c)in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll uses water
and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrate.
(d)In the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll uses
water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide to produce
carbohydrates.​

Answer 1

The correct staement which explain the process of photosythesis is in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll use water and carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates (c)

Explanation:

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.

In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll.

Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Answer 2

Answer: (c)in the presence of sunlight, chlorophyll uses water

Explanation:

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll in plants. Chloroplasts have a double membrane around them and a third inner membrane called the thylakoid membrane that folds into lengthy folds within the organelle.
