Detailed explanation-1: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.
Detailed explanation-2: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Cellular respiration is the process by which the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body’s cells. The energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP. The process can be summarized as: glucose + oxygen carbon dioxide + water.
Detailed explanation-4: -Final answer: 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2 O + Chlorophyll + Sunlight → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + 6 H 2 O is the summary of photosynthesis.
