This is the formula for which process?6H 2 2 6 12 6 2
A
photosynthesis
B
precipitation
C
respiration
D
decomposition
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: -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: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light → C6H12O6 + 6O2. Which process could provide the CO2 necessary for this photosynthesis? During photosynthesis, plants use energy from sunlight to form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
