Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
A
CO2 + light + H2O
B
CO2 + glucose + H2O
C
O2 + light + H2O
D
CO2 + O2 + H2O
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: -Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Detailed explanation-3: -6CO2 + 12H2O +chlorophyll+sunlight→ C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O. Correct option is C: During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
