A) starch B) chitin
C) glycogen D) cellulose
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) chitin

Explanation:

Many carbohydrates contain one or more modified monosaccharide units that have had one or more groups replaced or removed.

 

Chitin is one of many naturally occurring polymers. It is one of the most abundant natural materials in the world. Over time it is bio-degradable in the natural environment. Its breakdown may be catalyzed by enzymes called chitinases, secreted by microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, and produced by some plants.

 

Chitin is composed of repeating units of N-acetylglucosamine, a nitrogen-containing form of glucose.

C) CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 D) 6O2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6CO2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

 

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

 

The overall balanced equation is

 

              6CO2 +  6H2O   Sunlight    C6H12O6   +   6O2Source of Carbon & Oxygen  + Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + Energy that drives Photosynthesis             ----> Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water.

 

Where 

CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose 

O2 = oxygen.
