Question

Which of these are the result of producers performing photosynthesis. Select all that are correct... A. make oxygen available B. Transfers carbon dioxide C. Transfers energy from sunlight D. Cycles carbon through the biosphere

Answer 1

Answer: Option A, C and D

Step-by-step explanation:

The Producers are the organism that utilize the carbon dioxide and water available in the atmosphere.

These organism trap sunlight and make glucose using carbon dioxide and water.The by-product of this reaction is oxygen which is released in the outer atmosphere after this reaction.

The glucose which is the main product of this reaction is transferred from the producers to consumers. This makes carbon available in the biosphere.

Hence, the correct options are A, C and D

Answer 2

The correct statements would be

• A. make oxygen available
• C. Transfers energy from sunlight
• D. Cycles carbon through the biosphere

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and cyanobacteria convert solar energy into chemical energy.

They are termed as producers or autotrophs.

The solar energy helps in light-dependent reaction of photosynthesis which generates NADPH and ATP. The oxygen is released as the byproduct of this reaction.

These are used in light-independent reaction of the photosynthesis in which a plant fixes carbon atoms obtained from carbon dioxide into food or glucose.

Thus, producers help in making oxygen available, transferring energy from the sunlight, and cycling carbon through the biosphere.
