Answer:6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants use energy from the sun to manufacture their own food from carbon dioxide and water. In the reaction, 6 molecules of water combines 6 molecules of carbon dioxide to form one molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen.

The equation for the reaction is shown below

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

In balancing a chemical equation, the total mass of the reactants must be equal to the total mass of the products because law of conservation of mass states that matter can neither be created nor be destroyed in an ordinary chemical reaction.

Which part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective protein coat?

Nadusha1986 [10]

A ribosome is the part of a cell is used by a virus to produce its protective

protein coat.

Virus produces a protective protein coat known as capsids which serves as

a means of protection for the organism. The capsids are produced through

the organelle known as ribosome.,

The ribosome acts as a site for protein synthesis in organisms and the

capsids being made up of protein means the ribosome was used to

produce its protective protein coat.
