It was recycled when glucose was formed.

1 answer

During photosynthesis, plants convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen using light energy. The radioactive hydrogen from the radioactive water would be incorporated into the glucose molecule produced during this process. Therefore, the correct response is:

It was recycled when glucose was formed.
