Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the equation for photosynthesis?
A
carbon dioxide + water
B
food + energy
C
oxygen + glucose
D
Carbon dioxide + glucose
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 balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.) In simple terms: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + oxygen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)
