Which of the following equations represents the overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis?
|
|
6O2+ 6H2O
|
|
|
C6H12O6 + 6H2O
|
|
|
6CO2+ 6H2O
|
|
|
6O2 + 6H2O
|
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: -Answer and Explanation: This is an oxidation or combustion reaction, or more specifically, the aerobic respiration equation. Here, the hydrocarbon glucose C6H12O6 C 6 H 12 O 6 is oxidized to give carbon dioxide, water, and energy which are the products of aerobic respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Photosynthesis.
