Question

Anabolism is the process where a cell takes simple molecules and combine them to form more complex molecules. One anabolic process necessary for cells is photosynthesis, where a cell takes simple molecules in order to form a much more complex glucose molecule. What is the role of water in this anabolic process?

A)
water is formed as a product


B)
water is not found in photosynthesis


C)
water is needed for the photosynthesis to occur


D)
water only serves as a way to transport molecules

Answer 1

c

Step-by-step explanation:

water is needed for the photosynthesis to occur

Answer 2

C) water is needed for the photosynthesis to occur
CO2 + H2O --> glucose + O2
the atoms of C, H, and O must combine to form glucose
