Question

Anton thinks that glucose is a reactant of photosynthesis, but his classmate Jamila disagrees. Who is correct, and why?

Anton is correct because glucose is a substance that is present before the chemical reaction of photosynthesis takes place.
Anton is correct because glucose is a substance that is formed from the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.
Jamila is correct because glucose is a product, not a reactant, of photosynthesis.
Jamila is correct because glucose is not involved in the chemical reaction of photosynthesis.

Answer 1

C. Jamila is correct because glucose is a product, not a reactant, of photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in plants and some other organisms in which energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen. In this process, carbon dioxide and water are the reactants, and glucose and oxygen are the products. Therefore, Anton is incorrect and Jamila is correct because glucose is a product of photosynthesis, not a reactant.
