Which of the following equations represents the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?
|
|
6O2+ 6H2O
|
|
|
C6H12O6 + 6H2O
|
|
|
6CO2+ 6H2O
|
|
|
6O2 + 6H2O
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). This process is called photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O), with the addition of solar energy. This produces 1 molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O2).
