In the process of photosynthesis water act as:
Correct answer: B. Electron donor
- A. Proton accepter
- B. Electron donor
- C. CO2 reducer
- D. CO2 accepter
Explanation
Water also provides electrons that bind to the hydrogen atoms to the carbon to produce glucose. Water also acts as a reducing agent which reduces NADP+ to NADPH by providing H+ ions. NADPH activates chlorophyll that in turn provides the green pigment to the plant.

About Plant Nutrition and Transport
Plants require macronutrients and micronutrients for growth, and mineral deficiencies produce recognizable symptoms. Transport involves water and minerals through xylem by transpiration pull, cohesion and adhesion, while phloem translocates sugars from sources to sinks. Root pressure and transpiration are distinct mechanisms.
