Question

The process of photosynthesis can be represented by the chemical formula A) C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy B) C6H12O6 + 6H20 → 6CO2 + 6H2O C) 6CO2 +6H2O + Light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 D) 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Answer 1

C.
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Light is needed as energy in order for photosynthesis to occur. Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option C, $6CO_2 +6H_2O + A ------> C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

Explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, the following raw material are chemically combined in the presence of light (obtained from sun) -

a) carbon dioxide

b) water

to produce  glucose and oxygen.

If we write a chemical equation for above process it will be as follows -

$6CO_2 +6H_2O + A ------> C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$

where A is the symbol used for sunlight.

Thus, option C is correct
