What are the words above and below the equal sign of the photosynthesis equation?
A
Light Energy, Chlorophyll
B
Chlorophyll, Light Energy
C
Glucose, Water
D
Water, Glucose
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The word equation for photosynthesis is as follows: Carbon dioxide + water + (light energy) → glucose + oxygen gas. Carbon dioxide and water are the reactants of the reaction, and glucose and oxygen gas are the products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light energy, which is necessary for the chemical reaction to occur, is written above the arrow.
