Question

In photosynthesis, the reactants are more stable than the products. However, both the products and reactants are stable. Therefore, the photosynthesis reaction will ______ energy and _________ it in the chemical bonds. A) absorb, store B) release, store C) absorb, release D) release, release

Answer 1

A) absorb, store

Step-by-step explanation:

In photosynthesis an endothermic reaction occurs, where light energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of sugars. In this process, which is powered by light energy, glucose molecules are created from water and carbon dioxide, while oxygen is released as a by-product. The molecules of glucose are stored by the plant and then be used.

Answer 2

A.) Absorb and store

Step-by-step explanation:

The reaction for photosynthesis is:

`6CO_(2)+ 12H_(2) O` →
`C_(6) H_(12) O_(6) +6H_(2) O` (reaction conditions: light and chlorophyll)

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + water

This means light energy is absorbed and stored as sugar molecules and energy for the plant

Therefore, the photosynthesis reaction will absorb energy and store it in the chemical bonds.
