What happens during photosynthesis?

• The cell uses glucose to make oxygen
• The cell uses oxygen to make glucose
• The cell uses the energy in sunlight to make glucose
• The cell uses the energy in sunlight to make carbon dioxide

What benefit does photosynthesis provide for heterotrophs?

• It creates clean water
• It eliminates harmful sugars
• It adds carbon dioxide to the air
• It creates food that they can eat

Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?
