Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide gas and carbohydrates into water and oxygen. Photosynthesis converts oxygen and carbon dioxide gas into water and carbohydrates. Photosynthesis converts water and carbon dioxide gas into oxygen gas and carbohydrates.

Answer 1

Answer: Photosynthesis converts water and carbon dioxide gas into oxygen gas and carbohydrates.

Explanation: The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO
`_(2)` + 6H
`_(2)`O → C
`_(6)`H
`_(12)`O
`_(6)` + 6O
`_(2)`.

CO
`_(2)` - carbon dioxide
H
`_(2)`O - water
C
`_(6)`H
`_(12)`O
`_(6)` - glucose (carbohydrate)
O
`_(2)` - oxygen
