Question

The process of photosynthesis is

• A. Reductive, exergonic and catabolic
• B. Reductive, endergonic and catabolic
• C. Reductive, exergonic and anabolic
• D. Reductive, endergonic and anabolic

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

• Endergonic means "absorbing energy" in the form of work. During an endergonic process, energy is put into the system.
• An endergonic process is also anabolic, as it utilizes the energy for forming complex sugar from simple compound i.e., carbon dioxide. It is reductive because of CO2 gains electrons from water.
