C) metabolize glycerol
D) synthesize carbohydrates

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In photosynthesis, light energy is used to synthesize carbohydrates through the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. A is incorrect because proteins are broken down through the process of proteolysis, which is not part of photosynthesis. B is incorrect because phosphorylation of ADP to form ATP occurs through cellular respiration, not photosynthesis. C is incorrect because glycerol metabolism is also not a process involved in photosynthesis.
