In photosynthesis carbon dioxide is converted to carbohydrates. It is a _______ process.

Options

  1. Areductive
  2. Boxidative
  3. Ccatabolic and exergonic
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

D. None of the above

Step-by-step solution

Photosynthesis is an oxidation reduction process in which water is oxidised and carbon dioxide is reduced to carbohydrates. Hence, it is anabolic and endergonic process.
