Answer 1

The number that remains unchanged during photosynthesis is the number of carbon atoms.

In the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules are absorbed by plants and carbon atoms are incorporated into glucose (C6H12O6). However, the total number of carbon atoms in the system remains constant, as they are neither created nor destroyed, but rather transform through chemical reactions.

So, the answer is the number of carbon atoms.
