zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The remaining fragment that completes the question is: "What more must be added to the chemical equation to accurately represent photosynthesis? "

The answer is Light energy, above the arrow

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a metabolic reaction unique to autotrophic organisms like plants, algae etc. It is the process whereby these organisms produce their food (glucose) using light energy from the sun.

Photosynthesis cannot occur without light, as the name implies: Photo- meaning light. The sun is the source of this light energy, which photosynthetic organisms like plants capture using a green pigment called CHLOROPHYLL.

Photosynthesis is a reaction with a general equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---light energy-----> C6H12O6 + 6O2

However, the energy needed to perform this reaction comes from light provided by the sun. Hence, Naval needs to put LIGHT above the arrow in her equation in order to accurately represent photosynthesis.
