Question

The chemical energy stored in ATP during photosynthesis is released during the dark phase to _____.

a. produce O2
b. produce CO2
c. release energy for the "light"
d. produce a carbohydrate from CO2

Answer 1

d) produced carbohydrate from CO₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

The energy stored in the form of ATP is used to form the carbohydrate from CO₂. The carbon dioxide is taken from air and by adding the hydrogen converted into carbohydrates.
