Question

Photosynthesis is an endothermic chemical reaction that forms sugars from carbon dioxide, water, and the sun's energy. Which of the following must be true of photosynthesis?

The reaction can take place only if energy is added.
The reactants are oxidized.
The photosynthesis reaction produces ions.
The molecular bonds in carbon dioxide are very weak.

Answer 1

The photosynthesis reaction produces ions

Answer 2

Answer: The reaction can take place only if energy is added.

Step-by-step explanation:

Exothermic processes are those processes in which heat is released and endothermic processes are those processes in which heat is absorbed.

Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to convert energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy in the form of glucose which is used a s a source of energy by many organisms.

`6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_(12)O_6+6O_2`

Thus photosyynthesis reaction can take place only if energy is added.
