What is the formula for photosynthesis?
A
Carbon dioxide + Water
B
Glucose + Oxygen
C
Carbon dioxide + Glucose
D
Carbon dioxide + Oxygen
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.) In simple terms: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen. This is photosynthesis, and without it, there likely would be no plants or animals.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Aerobic respiration takes place in the mitochondria and requires oxygen and glucose, and produces carbon dioxide, water, and energy. The chemical equation is C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O (glucose + oxygen-> carbon dioxide + water). Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
