What is the fate of CO2 after the completion of photosynthesis?
Some is involved in the formation of sugars and some is converted to carbonates and carbon monoxide.
It is reduced to sugars during dark reaction
It forms proteins during dark reaction
It is the source of oxygen released in photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a redox process where CO2is reduced to sugar and H2O is oxidized to O2. In some bacteria Hydrogen sulphide is oxidised to elemental sulphur.
