Which of the following does not occur during photosynthesis?

A. Energy from sunlight is absorbed
B. Carbondioxide is evolved
C. Glucose is synthesized
D. Oxygen is given
E. water is split

Correct Answer:

B – Carbondioxide is evolved

6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

This is the equation for photosynthesis. Note that carbondioxide is not evolved in these reactions.
