Question

How are the products represented in the chemical equation for photosynthesis? O2 + 6CO2 C6H12O6 + 6H2O 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis- " The process through which plants and some organism

(holding Chlorophyll Chemical inside their body) generates Carbohydrates and oxygen by consumption of carbon dioxide, sunlight and water as the substrates is called as photosynthesis"

Now photosynthesis and the equation mentioned is explained well below.

Explanation:

                                             " Substrate for Photosynthesis"

The three main constituents which are required to carry out photosynthesis are:

1. Sunlight
2. Carbon dioxide, CO2
3. Water, H2O  

                                                    "Product"

Through photosynthesis plants and other organisms generate the source of energy to drive their cellular functions, and that very product is Carbohydrate in order to  gain energy(ATP). As the carbohydrate generated is in the form of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P) or  GA3P. These high level carbohydrates are broken down into sucrose, glucose etc and again into small energy packets on the cellular level.  Oxygen,O2 is also generated at the end which is then again used at some level of operation. Along with that water molecules are also present at the end result of the process.

                                               "Equation"

Now, in photosynthesis we see that six Carbon dioxide molecules are added with 12 molecules of water  (in the presence of sunlight), to give us 1 molecule of sugar along with some water molecules and gaseous oxygen molecule .

As per the given equation, we can explain the following equation as,

C6H12O6 - sugar molecules generated.

O2 - the gasses Oxygen at the end result.

6CO2 - Six carbon dioxide molecules.

H2O - The water molecule present at the end result.

           

Answer 2

Answer:

chemical reaction:-

12H20 + 6CO2 + light =====> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

the above reaction shows that if we combine water,carbon dioxide and sunlight ,the resultant products will be glucose ,water and oxygen .

The plant converts the carbon dioxide into energy and oxygen by different steps that include

1. absorption of light
2. conversion of NADP into NADPH+
3. conversion of ADP into ATP
4. formation of carbohydrates from CO2  !
