Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight, with the release of oxygen as a byproduct. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. The other options are incorrect, as photosynthesis does not involve the release of carbon dioxide (option A), it is not a process known as respiration (option C), it does not involve important reactions within the stems and roots of plants (option D), and it does not produce water by combining carbon dioxide and oxygen (option E).
