Question

Which equation below can be used to describe the overall changes taking place during photosynthesis?

A. 6CO2 + 6O2 C6H12O6 +6H2O
B. 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 +6O2
C. C6H12O6 + 6H2O6CO2 +6O2
D. C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 +6H2O

Answer 1

The equation that represents the process of photosynthesis is: 6CO2+12H2O+light->C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O. Photosynthesis is the process in plants to make their food. This involves the use carbon dioxide to react with water and make sugar or glucose as the main product and oxygen as a by-product.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Answer 2

The equation that describe the overall changes taking place during photosynthesis is

6Co2+6H2O C6H12O6+ 6 O2 (answer B)

during photosynthesis plant uses carbon(iv) oxide (CO2) water (H2O) and light energy to produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. The light energy which is absorbed by green chemical known as chlorophyll is used to convert CO2 and H2O into glucose.
