Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following equations best represents photosynthesis?
A
C + O2 + H2O = CO2 +HOH
B
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
C
6C + 6 H2O = C6H12O6
D
C6H12O6 = 6CO2 + 6H2O
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2 O + Chlorophyll + Sunlight → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + 6 H 2 O is the summary of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2. In plants, the process of photosynthesis takes place in the mesophyll of the leaves, inside the chloroplasts. Chloroplasts contain disc-shaped structures called thylakoids, which contain the pigment chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.

Detailed explanation-4: -The reaction C 6 H 12 O 6 ( aq ) + 6 O 2 ( g ) → 6 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( l ) + ∆ Glucose Oxygen carbon water heat dioxide is exothermic.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
