(i) Carbon dioxide is released during photosynthesis. (T/F)
(i) The given statement is false.
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Plants prepare their food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. The process can be represented as follows:
Carbon dioxide + Water Sunlight,Chlorophyll−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ Carbohydrate (Starch) + Oxygen
