Question

One of the events that does not occur during photosynthesis is ______.

Options

• Chlorophyll absorbs solar energy.

• Carbon dioxide is released during the process.

• Oxygen is released during the process.

• Carbon dioxide is absorbed during the process.

Answer 1

One of the events that does not occur during photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide is released during the process.

Explanation:

During this process, the following things take place:

1. Chlorophyll's absorption of light energy.
2. Splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
3. Carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates.

\[\ce{\underset{carbon dioxide}{6CO2} + \underset{water}{6H2O} ->[photosynthesis]\underset{glucose}{C6H12O6} + \underset{oxygen}{6O2}}\]
