Carbon dioxide and water are recycled into glucose and oxygen gas.

Answer 1

The correct response is:

Carbon dioxide and water are recycled into glucose and oxygen gas.

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air and water (H2O) from the soil. Using sunlight, they convert these into glucose (a form of sugar) and oxygen (O2), which is released as a byproduct.
