which process in photosynthesis uses energy from the sun? A. combining carbon dioxide and hydrogen. B. splitting water in to hydrogen and oxygen. C. absorbing carbon dioxide. D. releasing oxygen.

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen. This process, known as photolysis or photodissociation, occurs in the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. It involves the absorption of sunlight by chlorophyll and other light-absorbing pigments in the chloroplasts, which provides the energy necessary to split water molecules.
