Question

The equation also shows that during photosynthesis, CO₂ gains hydrogen atoms and becomes a ____________ . The ____________ of any molecule requires energy and during photosynthesis this energy is provided by the sun.

Answer 1

Answer:

C6H12O6 - glucose.

Synthesis.

Explanation:

Equation showing Photosynthesis

6CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) --> C6H12O6(s) + 6O2(g)

Photosynthesis requires sunlight as a source of energy for plants, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants. After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate (organic) molecules, most commonly glucose.

The equation also shows that during photosynthesis, CO₂ gains hydrogen atoms and becomes a sugar/glucose molecule. The synthesis of any molecule requires energy and during photosynthesis this energy is provided by the sun.
