Question

During the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere and oxygen present in the atmosphere is used by the plants.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

• Photosynthesis is the process through which green plants prepare their food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
• During the process, carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere is used by the plants and oxygen is released into the atmosphere.

$$\begin{gathered} 6{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)+6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)\underset{\mathrm{chlorophyll}}{\overset{\mathrm{sunlight}}{\to }}{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\left(\mathrm{aq}\right)+6{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right) \\ \mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}\mathrm{Water}\mathrm{Glucose}\mathrm{Oxygen} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the given statement is false.
