Detailed explanation-1: -This chemical equation shows that six molecules of carbon dioxide (6CO2) react with six molecules of water (6H2O) in the presence of light energy to form one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and six molecules of oxygen gas (6O2).
Detailed explanation-2: -The reaction C 6 H 12 O 6 ( aq ) + 6 O 2 ( g ) → 6 CO 2 ( g ) + 6 H 2 O ( l ) + ∆ Glucose Oxygen carbon water heat dioxide is exothermic.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Dissolved nutrients like glucose are slowly burnt (oxidized) with the help of oxygen and energy is released in the form of ATP. Waste materials like CO2 and water vapours are produced during this process. Cellular respiration can be summarized as follows: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy (38ATP)
