Chemical reaction equations, such as the one for photosynthesis, show the reactants and products of a reaction. How does this si
Natali5045456 [20]

The right answer is It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate reactions.

It takes six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water to synthesize a molecule of glucose, releasing six molecules of oxygen, thanks to the light energy.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy ==> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6 O2


<u>But this balance is in fact broken down into two successive stages:</u>

Light phase or photochemical phase:

12 H2O + light ==> 6 O2 + chemical energy (24 H).

The Calvin cycle (dark phase):

6 CO2 + chemical energy (24 H) ==> C6H12O6 + 6 H2O.
