Question

: In which process do plants convert light energy into glucose and release oxygen? a) Respiration b) Photosynthesis c) Fermentation d) Combustion

Answer 1

b) Photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Respiration is the process by which oxygen is reacted with glucose to release carbon dioxide and ATP energy, so a) is disqualified.

• Photosynthesis is the process by which carbon dioxide and light (solar photons) are used by the green matter (chlorophyll) by the plants to produce glucose and oxygen, so b) photosynthesis is qualified.

• Fermentation is the process by which oxygen is used as a raw material to simply breakdown substances by bacteria to release energy, so c) is disqualified.

• Combustion is the process by which oxygen reacts with a substance to release carbon dioxide and respective products, so d) is disqualified.
