Question

Which statement correctly describes the flow of energy in photosynthesis?Group of answer choicesPhotosynthesis releases energy when carbon dioxide and water combine to form glucose molecules.Photosynthesis stores energy because more energy is stored in glucose than it is in carbon dioxide or water.Photosynthesis releases energy when the reactants rearrange and form the bonds in the products.Photosynthesis stores energy because energy is released when glucose is formed from carbon dioxide and water.

Answer 1

The best option would be the second one: Photosynthesis stores energy because more energy is stored in glucose than it is in carbon dioxide or water.

Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use energy from the sun along with carbon dioxide and water to form glucose and oxygen as waste product. Based on the diagram, glucose stores more energy as compared to other molecules.
