The net yield of H2O in photosynthesis is?
Correct answer: D. 0
- A. 1
- B. 6
- C. 3
- D. 0
Explanation
In the process of photosynthesis, water (H2O) is split during the light-dependent reactions to provide electrons, protons (H+), and oxygen (O2). The oxygen is released as a byproduct into the atmosphere, while the electrons and protons are used in the subsequent steps of photosynthesis to produce energy-rich molecules like ATP and NADPH. While water is utilized in the photosynthetic process, it is ultimately regenerated and not consumed. Therefore, the net yield of water in photosynthesis is 0 since the same amount of water that is initially used is also produced as a byproduct.

About Bioenergetics
Cellular respiration explains how cells release energy from glucose through glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle and electron transport chain. It includes ATP production, substrate-level and oxidative phosphorylation, aerobic versus anaerobic respiration, and the roles of mitochondria, oxygen and fermentation in energy transfer.
