The answer is the fourth one: solar energy - carbon dioxide - water → carbohydrate - oxygen.

Explanation for each option:

  1. carbohydrate - oxygen → carbon dioxide - water - energy: This represents cellular respiration, not photosynthesis. In cellular respiration, carbohydrates are broken down with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide, water, and energy.

  2. carbohydrate - carbon dioxide → oxygen - water - energy: This is incorrect for photosynthesis. Photosynthesis does not use carbohydrates and carbon dioxide as reactants.

  3. solar energy - oxygen - water → carbohydrate - oxygen: This is incorrect because oxygen is not a reactant in photosynthesis; it is a product.

  4. solar energy - carbon dioxide - water → carbohydrate - oxygen: This is the correct representation of photosynthesis. In this process, solar energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates (such as glucose) and oxygen.

  5. solar energy → carbohydrate - oxygen: This is an incomplete representation of photosynthesis as it does not include carbon dioxide and water as reactants.

In summary, the correct representation of photosynthesis is the conversion of solar energy, carbon dioxide, and water into carbohydrates and oxygen.
