Question

Name the nutrients generated during photosynthesis.

• A. Glucose and oxygen
• B. Minerals and proteins
• C. Carbon dioxide and carbohydrates
• D. Glucose and proteins

Answer 1

The correct option is A Glucose and oxygen

$\bullet$ Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise their own food.
$\bullet$ Carbon dioxide and water are utilised in this process in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Simple sugars and carbohydrates such as glucose ($C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6)$ are formed as a result. Oxygen is released as byproduct.
