<em>Photosynthesis</em> is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).
So the chemical process may be represented by:
<u>Word equation: </u>
carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen
<u>Skeleton equation:</u>
CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂
<u>Balanced chemical equation:</u>
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
<u>Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:</u>
Most likely the second one (sand letting water run through it) because if you are trying to determine how what moves through soil You would want the one the one that can do that:)
