Which of these statements is true about autotrophs, but not heterotrophs?

A
They use sugar and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water.
B
They use chlorophyll and oxygen to make carbon dioxide and water.

How are the reactants represented in the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

A
6CO2 + O2
B
6CO2 + 6H2O
C
C6H12O6 + 6O2
D
C6H12O6 + 6H2O
4

Which statement best describes the relationship of photosynthesis and energy?

A
The process of photosynthesis is energy-storing because the process converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the bonds of glucose.
B
The process of photosynthesis is energy-releasing because the process converts light energy into free energy that can be used for cell functions.
C
The process of photosynthesis is energy-conserving because no energy is used throughout the process of forming glucose and oxygen molecules.
D
The process of photosynthesis is energy-wasting because photosynthesis is an inefficient process that depletes the cell of energy stored in the bonds of glucose.
