The diagram in Model 1 illustrates a clipping of an aquatic plant in water. a. What process is occurring in the plant’s cells to produce the gas in the bubbles that appear?

a. Photosynthesis

b. Oxygen

c. Light from the lamp

Explanation:

a. The process that is occurring in the plant's cell to produce the gas in the bubble is photosynthesis. The process involves the use of inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide and water in the presence of light to manufacture carbohydrates. Oxygen is evolved in the process. The equation for the process is as below:

b. The gas produced by the plant is oxygen as shown in the equation above.

c. The source of energy the plant is using to conduct the process is the light from the lamp. Light catalyzes the excitation of photosystems, causing the release of electrons that causes the splitting of water.
