You are growing algae in culture and expose them to CO₂ that contains radiolabeled oxygen.Where does the radiolabeled oxygen end up after photosynthesis? A)water B)oxygen C)carbon dioxide D)carbohydrates E)carbon monoxide

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Radiolabeled oxygen from CO₂ would end up in carbohydrates produced by photosynthesis. The oxygen atoms from water are used to produce molecular oxygen during photosynthesis, but they wouldn't be radiolabeled in this case. Carbon dioxide would also not be radiolabeled, as it does not contain oxygen from CO₂. Similarly, carbon monoxide would not be produced during photosynthesis.
