Question

The process of photosynthesis converts carbon atoms from carbon dioxide into _______. A. sugars B. hydrogen C. oxygen D. salts

Answer 1

The answer is sugars

Answer 2

A. sugars

Step-by-step explanation:

The photosynthesis equation is:

CO2(carbon dioxide)+ H2O (water) +sunlight --> O2(oxygen) + C6H12O6 (glucose)

Photosynthesis makes sugar (glucose) and oxygen. But, oxygen is just oxygen, and there are no carbon atoms in O2.

Glucose is C6H12O6, and the C represents carbon. So, photosynthesis converts carbon atoms from CO2 to sugars.

Therefore, the choice is A.
