Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light
|
|
|
Light + Carbon Dioxide
|
|
|
Carbon Dioxide + Glucose + Light
|
|
|
None of the above

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: -Balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is as follows, 6CO2+12H2OSunlight ChlorophyllC6H12O6+6H2O+6O2.
