Question

During photosynthesis, the oxygen from C O2 is incorporated into (A) Oxygen gas (B) water (C) carbohydrates (D) N A D P H2

The general word formula for photosynthesis is -

6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 H_{2} O + 6 O_{2}

in presence of light and chlorophyll. The whole photosynthesis process is divided into two broad parts -
Light reaction where the light energy is used to generate ATP and

N A D P H_{2}

which is later used in the Dark reaction to reduce carbon dioxide into glucose (carbohydrate) molecule. The free oxygen released as a byproduct in the photosynthesis occurs by splitting water. The oxygen of the carbon dioxide is used in making the glucose molecule through the Calvin cycle.
