Answer:

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

The statement 'photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and water' IS NOT true.

• Photosynthesis is a series of reactions by which plants and algae can produce sugars  (e.g., glucose) by using the energy from the sun, oxygen and water.

• The photosynthetic reactions release carbon dioxide (CO2) as a byproduct, thereby CO2 is a product instead of a reactant.

• Photosynthesis has two main types of reactions: light-dependent reactions and light-independent reactions (i.e., the Calvin cycle).

In conclusion, the statement 'photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide and water' IS NOT true.
