PLEASE HELP ASAP!!

The masses of all the substances either used up or formed during photosynthesis are shown below:
A = 192 grams, B = 108 grams, C = 264 grams, D = 180 grams
Which of the following statements supports the conclusion that photosynthesis follows the law of conservation?
The total mass of B and C, which are water and oxygen, is equal to the total mass of A and D, which are carbon dioxide and glucose.
The total mass of B and C, which are water and carbon dioxide, is equal to the total mass of A and D, which are oxygen and glucose.
The total mass of A and B, which are water and carbon dioxide, is less than the total mass of C and D, which are oxygen and glucose.
The total mass of A and C, which are water and carbon dioxide, is greater than the total mass of B and D, which are oxygen and glucose.

The law of conservation of the mass says that the mass is not created or destroyed but only transformed. This indicates that the total amount of mass at the beginning of a process must be equal to the total amount of mass at the end of that process.
 For this reason options 3 and 4 are incorrect.It is known that the process of photosynthesis requires water and carbon dioxide and produces glucose and oxygen.
 Therefore, the correct option is 2
 "The total mass of B and C, which is water and carbon dioxide, is equal to the total mass of A and D, which is oxygen and glucose."

Answer:

B.) The total mass of B and C, which are water and carbon dioxide, is equal to the total mass of A and D, which are oxygen and glucose.

Explanation:

The following statements that support the conclusion that photosynthesis follows the law of conservation would be B.) The total mass of B and C, which are water and carbon dioxide, is equal to the total mass of A and D, which are oxygen and glucose. We can conclude this because the law of conservation states that for any transfer of mass, it will always stay the same, meaning that you cannot add to it nor remove from it. Option A would not be correct because the question asked about photosynthesis, and A is describing cellular respiration. Options C and D would also not be correct because when you add up the values in the way that they are listed, it does not sum up to the statement. Here are all of the letter combinations added together, based on the letter choices:

  • B and C ➡ 372
  • A and D ➡ 372
  • A and B ➡ 300
  • C and D ➡ 444
  • A and C ➡ 456
  • B and D ➡ 288

Notice how the first two listed add up to 372. And because this matches option B, that will be your answer.

Hope this helps y'all :)
