Question

How are matter and energy transformed through the process of photosynthesis? place each molecule name in the correct position in the diagram matter ___ ___ + solar = matter ___ + chemical energy ___ carbon dioxide oxygen sugar water

Answer 1

In the process of photosynthesis, matter and energy are transformed as follows:

1. **Input:**
- Matter: Carbon dioxide + Water
- Energy: Solar energy

2. **Output:**
- Matter: Sugar + Oxygen
- Chemical Energy: (contained in the sugar)

Now placing the molecules in your diagram:

**Matter**: Carbon dioxide + Water + Solar energy = **Matter**: Sugar + Oxygen + **Chemical energy**: (contained in sugar)

So, your completed diagram would look like this:

**Matter**: Carbon dioxide + Water + Solar energy = **Matter**: Sugar + Oxygen + **Chemical Energy**: (sugar)
