What reactant is utilized during the sugar production in photosynthesis?
Correct answer: C. Carbon dioxide
- A. ATP
- B. NADH
- C. Carbon dioxide
- D. All of the above
Explanation
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) is utilized in the process of sugar production. Photosynthesis is the biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. The overall equation for photosynthesis is:6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2In this equation, carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere is one of the reactants, along with water (H2O) and light energy captured by chlorophyll pigments in the chloroplasts of plant cells.

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.
