PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The correct symbol equation for photosynthesis is?
A
C6H12O6 + 6O2
B
12CO2 + 12H2O
C
6CO2 + 6H2O
D
6CO2 + 6O2
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: -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.
