Question

Photosynthesis is a:

• A. Reductive, endergonic, anabolic process
• B. Reductive, exergonic, catabolic process
• C. Reductive, exergonic, anabolic process
• D. Reductive, endergonic, catabolic process

Hint:

Remember that photosynthesis stores energy in glucose, making it an anabolic and endergonic process.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Photosynthesis is a reductive (it involves the reduction of carbon dioxide to glucose), endergonic (requires energy input in the form of light), and anabolic (builds larger molecules from smaller ones) process. It is the opposite of catabolic processes, which break down molecules. Exergonic reactions release energy, while photosynthesis requires energy to be absorbed.
