Question

Study the photosynthesis model above. What is a correct assumption about the inputs and outputs of photosynthesis? A) without light energy from the sun, photosynthesis would still occur B) oxygen is an input into photosynthesis; carbon dioxide is an output C) carbon dioxide is the source of energy; oxygen is the chemical energy produced D) sunlight is the source of energy; plant sugars are the chemical energy produced

Answer 1

D) sunlight is the source of energy; plant sugars are the chemical energy produced

Answer 2

The right answer is D) sunlight is the source of energy; plant sugars are the chemical energy produced.

The function of photosynthesis is, in plants, to convert the energy provided by light into stable and assimilable chemical energy by an organism. It is produced by chlorophyll cells that transform the inorganic matter (photons) into organic matter (sugars).
