Question

State whether the following statement is true or false. If false, correct them.

Plants produce oxygen during the process of making their own food.

विकल्प

• True

• False

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

• Plants make their food through photosynthesis, which occurs in the presence of sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.

• During this process, plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen as a by-product.
  Photosynthesis equation: \[\ce{6CO2 + 6H2O ->[sunlight] C6H12O6 + 6O2}\]

• So, oxygen is released during photosynthesis, which is how plants make their own food.
