Question

During photosynthesis, sugar C6H12O6 is produced from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Which statement BEST explains what happens during photosynthesis? A) Atoms are gained when sugar is formed. B) Single atoms are converted into molecules . C) Atoms from compounds are lost when sugar is formed. D) Atoms of compounds are rearranged to form new compounds.

Answer 1

i think its D not to sure

Answer 2

Option D. Atoms of compounds are rearranged to form new compounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, certain bacteria, and algae to take energy from the sunlight and turn in into chemical energy. In this process, the plant synthesizes glucose from the carbon dioxide and water when in presence of sunlight and with the aid of chlorophyll.

In this overall process called a Calvin cycle, the plant uses these energy compounds in order to produce carbohydrate or glucose from the carbon dioxide, and oxygen is then released as a byproduct. During this light-independent reaction it is clear that atoms are neither lost or created, but rather rearranged in order to form new ones.
