Question

which equation describes what happens in photosynthesis? a. 6co2 6h2o energy → c6h12o6 6o2 b. c6h12o6 h20 → co2 energy c. c6h12o6 6o2 → 6co2 6h2o energy d. co2 o2 h20 energy → ch2o5

Answer 1

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ 6O₂

Answer 2

Answer : The correct option is, (a) $6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

Explanation :

Photosynthesis : It is a type of chemical process which occurs in the green plants or the living organisms.

During the photosynthesis process, carbon dioxide reacts with the water in the presence of sunlight to gives product  as glucose and oxygen.

In this reaction, carbon dioxide and water molecule are the reactants and glucose and oxygen are the products.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$6CO_2+6H_2O\overset{sunlight}\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2$

Hence, the correct option is, (a)
