Question 5(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

(06.03 LC)
A physical science student is explaining how carbon cycles through biological chemical reactions. Which statement accurately describes how photosynthesis is involved in this process?
O The carbon in carbon dioxide is converted into the carbon in sugar.
O The carbon in sugar is converted into the carbon in carbon dioxide.
O Oxygen and water are converted into sugar and carbon dioxide.
O Water and carbon dioxide are converted into sugar and water.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis converts the carbon in carbon dioxide into the carbon in sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants and bacteria convert carbon dioxide, water, and light into glucose and oxygen. The correct statement that describes how photosynthesis is involved in the carbon cycle is: The carbon in carbon dioxide is converted into the carbon in sugar. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in by plants and converted into glucose (sugar) through a series of chemical reactions. This glucose can then be used as a source of energy for the plant or stored for later use.
