Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The equation for photosynthesis is
A
oxygen + water
B
oxygen + glucose
C
carbon dioxide + water
D
carbon dioxide + glucose
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: -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-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Detailed explanation-4: -The overall balanced equation for photosynthesis is commonly written as 6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 (shown below). In other words, six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water react in the presence of sunlight to produce one molecule of glucose (a six-carbon sugar) and six molecules of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.
