Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What does the arrow mean in the photosynthesis equation?
A
Forward
B
Yields
C
Onward
D
Backward
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: -Purple arrows indicate the uptake of Carbon; yellow arrows indicate the release of Carbon. On land, plants remove carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -An arrow sign ("→” commonly read aloud as “yields") separates the two. The state attributes of products and reactants, either aqueous (dissolved in water-aq), solid (s), liquid (l), or gas, should be included in chemical equations.

Detailed explanation-4: -What do the formulas, arrow, and plus signs in a chemical equation tell you? Elements and compounds involved in the reaction, the arrow means “yields” and points to products, and the plus sign indicate two or more reactants or products.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations. Chemical equations have reactants on the left, an arrow that is read as “yields", and the products on the right.
