Solution
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:
- Chlorophyll's absorption of light energy.
- Splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen and the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
- Carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates.
\[\ce{\underset{carbon dioxide}{6CO2} + \underset{water}{6H2O} ->[photosynthesis]\underset{glucose}{C6H12O6} + \underset{oxygen}{6O2}}\]
