The equation for photosynthesis is 6H2O (water) + 6CO2 (carbon dioxide) + Light Energy → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2 (oxygen). When first discovered, scientists were trying to decide if the oxygen in the product came from carbon dioxide or water. Which statement describes how scientists traced the path of oxygen?

    There are no given choices. However, I read from online articles that early scientists discovered that the oxygen product of the hypothesis came from water and not from carbon dioxide.

    During photosynthesis, the hydrogen from the water molecules are extracted and combined with the glucose leaving behind the oxygen atom that is released to the environment.
