What Process Converts Carbon Dioxide and Water into Glucose and Oxygen

Question

What process converts carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen?
A) photosynthesis
B) cellular respiration
C) glycolysis
D) fermentation

Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria produce glucose (a sugar) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight. Cellular respiration is the opposite process, in which glucose and oxygen are consumed to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy. Glycolysis and fermentation are both involved in cellular respiration, but do not involve the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
