what is the correct formula
|
|
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2
|
|
|
C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy
|
|
|
Either A or B
|
|
|
None of the above

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: -ANS . (1) 6CO2+7H2O—–>C6H12O6+6O2+H2O is incorrect.
Detailed explanation-3: -On the products side, we have: C6H12O6 = glucose. 6O2 = six molecules of oxygen. 6H2O = six molecules of water. As we learned earlier, the glucose will be used by the plant as energy.
Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Photosynthesis.
