Question

Some ocean plants, such as photosynthetic algae, benefit when dissolved CO2 levels in ocean water are elevated. Complete the

chemical equation by dragging and dropping components of the equation into the boxes that BEST explains how algae use CO2 for
photosynthesis

Answer 1

CO2 + H2O ---SUNLIGHT--------> C6H12O6 + O2

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, carbondioxide reacts with water molecules in the presence of sunlight forming glucose molecules and oxygen gas. The carbondioxide enters the plant body through small openings called stomata, these stomata opens when there is sunlight whereas water enters the plant body through roots from the soil and reaches to the leaves. In leaves both combine produces glucose which can be stored in different parts of the body and some oxygen is used by the plants in the process of respiration and extra is released through stomata.
