The correct response is:

The carbon in carbon dioxide is recycled during photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it, along with water and sunlight, to produce glucose and oxygen. The carbon from carbon dioxide is thus incorporated into organic compounds produced by the plant.

How do plants recycle hydrogen during cellular respiration?(1 point)
Responses

The hydrogen in hydrogen gas is recycled when glucose is formed.
The hydrogen in hydrogen gas is recycled when glucose is formed.

The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when water is formed.
The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when water is formed.

The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when hydrogen gas is formed.
The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when hydrogen gas is formed.

The hydrogen in water is recycled when glucose is formed.

The correct response is:

The hydrogen in glucose is recycled when water is formed.

During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down, and hydrogen atoms from glucose combine with oxygen to form water, thereby recycling hydrogen in the process.

Scientists used radioactive hydrogen to make water. They grew plants using the radioactive water. What happened to the radioactive hydrogen during photosynthesis?(1 point)
Responses

It was recycled when glucose was formed.
It was recycled when glucose was formed.

It was recycled when water was formed.
It was recycled when water was formed.

It was recycled when hydrogen gas was formed.
It was recycled when hydrogen gas was formed.

It was recycled when light energy was formed.
It was recycled when light energy was formed.

The correct response is:

It was recycled when glucose was formed.

During photosynthesis, the radioactive hydrogen from the water is incorporated into glucose as the plant synthesizes carbohydrates.
