Question

Which equation best represents the process of photosynthesis ? A. 6CO2+12H2O-> light+C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O B.6CO2+12H2O+light->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O C.C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O+light->6CO2+12H2O D.C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O->light+6CO2+12H2O

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The equation that represents the process of photosynthesis is: 6CO2+12H2O+light->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O. Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product.

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as a process in which a plat uses carbon dioxide reacts with water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose as a product, oxygen and water as a byproduct.

The chemical equation for this reaction follows:

$6CO_2+12H_2O+\text{light}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2+6H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

6 moles of carbon dioxide reacts with 12 moles of water in the presence of light to produce 1 mole of glucose, 6 moles of oxygen and 6 moles of water.

Hence, the correct answer is Option B.
