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.

Malnutrition occurs when a person receives an excess or deficiency of food energy or nutrient intake or an imbalance of nutrient

Pavel [41]

Malnutrition occurs when a person reveibes a defiency of food this leads to less energy produce by the cells of the body because they don t get enough nutrients to form (anabolism) and replace old or unusable things in the body and don t have glucose lipids proteins to brake down (catabolism) for the forming of the Atp the primary source of energy.
