The correct answer is A. reductive and exergonic.
Photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. It is a reductive process because it uses electrons from water to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose. It is also an exergonic process because it releases energy in the form of ATP and NADPH.
Option B is incorrect because photosynthesis is not a catabolic process. Catabolic processes break down molecules to release energy. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, builds up molecules using energy from sunlight.
Option C is incorrect because photosynthesis is not endergonic. Endergonic processes require energy to occur. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, releases energy.
Option D is incorrect because photosynthesis is not anabolic and endergonic. Anabolic processes build up molecules, but they require energy to do so. Photosynthesis releases energy, so it cannot be anabolic and endergonic at the same time.
