Question

Identify the errors in given statements.
During photosynthesis, released carbon dioxide escapes through the stomata.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis:

1. Photosynthesis is the process of conversion of light energy (sunlight) into chemical energy (food) by using carbon dioxide, water and chlorophyll.
2. 6 CO₂ + 12 H₂O → Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) + 6 H₂O + 6 O₂
3. Oxygen is released from the plant as a by-product of photosynthesis.
4. Carbon dioxide gets utilized in the process.
5. Leaves show the presence of tiny pores called stomata which regulates the exit of oxygen from the plant.

Final answer: Correct statement:

During photosynthesis, released oxygen escapes through the stomata.
