Question
Using the graphic provided, identify the products of photosynthesis.
Responses
A sunlight oxygen, watersunlight oxygen, water
B sugar (glucose), oxygensugar (glucose), oxygen
C sunlight, water, carbon dioxidesunlight, water, carbon dioxide
D sunlight, carbon dioxide, watersunlight, carbon dioxide, water
C sunlight, water, carbon dioxide
The correct answer is B) sugar (glucose), oxygen.
To determine the products of photosynthesis, we need to understand the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process in which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The equation for photosynthesis can be represented as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Now, let's analyze the given options:
Option A: sunlight oxygen, water.
This option does not include glucose (sugar), which is a product of photosynthesis. Therefore, we can eliminate option A.
Option B: sugar (glucose), oxygen.
This option correctly includes sugar (glucose) as a product of photosynthesis, but it does not mention water. Therefore, we can eliminate option B.
Option C: sunlight, water, carbon dioxide.
This option includes all the necessary components for photosynthesis, but it does not list the products. We need to identify the products of photosynthesis and not the reactants. Therefore, we can eliminate option C.
Option D: sunlight, carbon dioxide, water.
This option includes all the necessary components for photosynthesis (sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water) and also lists the products correctly: glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
So, the products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen, and the correct option is D: sunlight, carbon dioxide, water.
Remember, it is essential to have a basic understanding of a topic to determine the correct answer.
