Which of the following does not occur during photosynthesis?
- Energy from sunlight is absorbed
-
Carbondioxide is evolved
- Glucose is synthesized
- Oxygen is given
- water is split
The correct answer is: B
Explanation
6CO\(_2\) + 12H\(_2\)O + light energy \(\to\) C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O
This is the equation for photosynthesis. Note that carbondioxide is not evolved in these reactions.
