Plant are autotrophs that can make their food by using the light energy, water and carbon dioxide from their surrounding.
The plants utilize the light energy from the sun to transform them into chemical energy which is the driving force for cell functioning.
The correct answer is:
Option D. carbon dioxide
The explanation for this is :
- The reactants of the process are 6 carbon dioxide, 6 water molecule which gets converted with the help of light energy and produces a 6 carbon sugar molecule along with the 6 oxygen molecules.
- The process of photosynthesis can be written as:
6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂
Therefore, carbon dioxide is the reactant used in the process of photosynthesis to produce sugar and oxygen.
