Photosynthesis requires many steps to make glucose.As a result of the synthesis process,

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide are joined with six molecules of water to form one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen. This means that all the carbons from the six carbon dioxide atoms are found in glucose. Therefore, option B is correct. Option A is incorrect because the number of atoms remains the same before and after the process. Option C is incorrect because no extra carbon dioxide is released. Option D is incorrect because water is not synthesized from H2 and O2 during photosynthesis; rather, it is split into hydrogen and oxygen.
