The table below shows the role of different substances during photosynthesis. Substance Role During Photosynthesis Glucose Store
s chemical energy Water Combines with glucose to form carbon dioxide Chlorophyll Traps sunlight Which of the following statements would correct one of the roles listed in the table? (5 points) Glucose combines with carbon to form water. Chlorophyll reacts with light to produce carbon dioxide. Water combines with carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. Chlorophyll stores chemical energy needed for photosynthesis.
<em>The correct option is ' Chlorophyll stores chemical energy needed for photosynthesis.'</em>
Explanation:
Chlorophyll traps light energy in the leaves of the plant. Carbon dioxide and water combine in the presence of this light energy to form oxygen and glucose in the process of photosynthesis. Oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis and is passed onto the environment. Glucose is used by the plant for various processes.
Other option, like option A, is wrong because during photosynthesis glucose is produced. It is not the reactant which will react with carbon.
That is, it has one side that is positively charged and one side that is negatively charged. The molecule is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
