18. Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE? a
Tilmy green pigment chlorophyll captures light
energy
b Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce
glucose
The process converts light energy from the
csun into chemical energy in the bonds of
glucose.
d
Carbon dioxide is needed as a reactant to
produce glucose.

Which statement about photosynthesis is FALSE?

b. Oxygen is needed as a reactant to produce

glucose is the incorrect statement here

Explanation:

plants uses simple raw materials to prepare their food , which includes water ( H2O ) and Carbon dioxide ( CO2 ).

and traps sunlight by Green pigments known as chlorophyll and stores these energy in bonds of glucose molecules

so ,

after this reaction glucose and oxygen is formed as products

● hence we conclude that Oxygen is not needed as a reactant to produce glucose , oxygen is the bi product formed during photosynthesis.

it is the most commonly accepted one
