Why does photosynthesis require water? a. because water provides oxygen atoms. b. because water provides electrons . c. because water accepts electrons. d. because water acts as a catalyst.

Photosynthesis requires water because water provides electrons.

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis starts with the absorption of solar or light energy by the plant pigments called chlorophyll. The activated chlorophyll molecule helps in the electron transfer from one acceptor to another forming a chain. Photosynthesis is an anabolic process.  

In photosynthesis reaction, glucose and oxygen produce with the help of water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. In the photosynthesis reaction, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water react in presence of the sunlight to make one glucose molecule and the six molecules of oxygen are also produced. The major function of water is to release molecule of oxygen from water into the environment in the form of oxygen gas. Water is breakdown and produces electrons which required to starts the photosystem. It also helps in reducing the NADP to NADPH through photolysis of water.  

The photosynthesis reaction is mainly divided into two phases which are:

the national environmental policy act (nepa) is a united states environmental law that promotes the enhancement of the environment and established the president's council on environmental quality (ceq). the law was enacted on january 1, 1970. to date, more than 100 nations around the world have enacted national environmental policies modeled after nepa.
