During photosynthesis

Question

During photosynthesis (A) Both C O2 and water get oxidized (B) Both C O2 and water get reduced (C) Water is reduced and C O2 is oxidized (D) C O2 gets reduced and H2O gets oxidized

Photosynthesis is an anabolic process occurring in certain species of bacteria, protists and plants. It involves use of carbon dioxide and water to form sugars and oxygen. During the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide from the atmosphere gets fixed through reduction reaction to form sugars and water is the source of oxygen released during the process.

Q. During photosynthesis

Both $C O_{2}$ and water get oxidized

Both $C O_{2}$ and water get reduced

Water is reduced and $C O_{2}$ is oxidized

$C O_{2}$ gets reduced and $H_{2} O$ gets oxidized

Q. During photosynthesis

Both CO2​ and water get oxidized

Both CO2​ and water get reduced

Water is reduced and CO2​ is oxidized

CO2​ gets reduced and H2​O gets oxidized

Both $C O_{2}$ and water get oxidized

Both $C O_{2}$ and water get reduced

Water is reduced and $C O_{2}$ is oxidized

$C O_{2}$ gets reduced and $H_{2} O$ gets oxidized
