A) protein
B)carbohydrates
C)amino acids
D)enzymes

Answer 1

B) carbohydrates

[: The chemical change that occurs in the leaves of green plants. It uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis. ] [: A type of carbohydrate.

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (B) carbohydrates

Explanation :

Photosynthesis : It is a type of process that occurs in the plant. In the photosynthesis process, when the carbon dioxide react with water in the presence of sunlight then it gives glucose as a product and oxygen as a byproduct.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

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

Hence, the food produced by the photosynthesis is, carbohydrate.
