Talia and franco have worked together on a model of photosynthesis, but their model reveals a common misconception. what correction(s) can you offer to fix the model?

Answer:

The correct option is Option C

i.e. The oxygen produced during the photosynthesis is a product of the water absorbed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The photosynthesis is a light dependent reaction that involves the absorption of water and carbon dioxide, producing glucose, water, oxygen. The photosynthesis is a two step process – the light reaction, and the dark reaction, also called as Calvin cycle. Glucose is produced in the dark reaction. Oxygen is produced in the light reaction, from the water.

For the answer to the question above, the O2 should've shown as a product of the light-capturing reactions.
O2 shouldn't be shown to be derived from CO2.
O2 should be shown and be derived from H2O.
O2 shouldn't be a product of the Calvin cycle.
