Question

Which of the following correctly describes how glucose becomes the product of a chemical reaction?

O Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a solid, and a liquid.
O Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a gas, and a liquid.
O Cellular respiration creates glucose using a gas and a liquid.
O Cellular respiration creates glucose using a solid, and a liquid

Answer 1

`\boxed {\tt B. \ Photosynthesis \ creates \ glucose \ using \ energy, \ a \ gas,and \ a \ liquid}`

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is made in the process of photosynthesis. It is used in cellular respiration, but not made. So we can eliminate choices C and D.

Now, let's analyze the photosynthesis equation so we can pick between A and B.

6CO₂+6H₂O+light energy ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂

A gas (carbon dioxide), a liquid (water) and energy are used to make glucose and oxygen.

No solids are used, so we can eliminate choice A. We are left with choice B. Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a gas, and a liquid.
