Answer:

first and foremost, carbon dioxide + oxygen does not give off glucose + oxygen.

carbon dioxide combines with water to give glucose and oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

Chlorophyll's job in a plant is to absorb light—usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar

Step-by-step explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, plants that contain chlorophyll utilize carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight that is absorbed by chlorophyll to make glucose + oxygen.
