Question

Chemical reaction equations, such as the one for photosynthesis, show the reactants and products of a reaction. How does this simplification misrepresent what takes place during the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Photosynthesis is the process by which, with the use of solar energy and by means of chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, plants transform that energy, with the help of carbon dioxide and water, into chemical energy for the plant.

To be more precise, the reaction is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2

reagents: carbon dioxide, water and solar energy

products: glucose, oxygen that is released into the environment

Answer 2

Well, photosynthesis is actually simple, 6 CO2 + 12 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O So Carbon + water --> Glucose + Oxygen + Water
