PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these is the correct equation for photosynthesis?
A
Oxygen + glucose
B
Oxygen + carbon dioxide
C
Carbon dioxide + water
D
Carbon dioxide + glucose
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. This is photosynthesis, and without it, there likely would be no plants or animals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Balanced chemical equation representing the process of photosynthesis is as follows, 6CO2+12H2OSunlight ChlorophyllC6H12O6+6H2O+6O2.
