Question

Which of the following equations represents the right chemical process that occurs in photosynthesis?

A. Six molecules of carbon dioxide plus sugar plus light energy converts six molecules of carbon and six molecules of oxygen.
B. Six molecules of water plus six molecules of hydrogen plus six molecules of oxygen converts light energy plus sugar.
C. Six molecules of carbon dioxide plus six molecules of water plus light energy converts six molecules of oxygen plus sugar.
D. Six molecules of oxygen plus six molecules of water plus light energy converts six molecules of carbon dioxide plus sugar.

Answer 1

C. Six molecules of carbon dioxide plus six molecules of water plus light energy converts to six molecules of oxygen plus sugar.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants manufacture their food in the presence of carbondioxide and water using light energy. The product of photosynthesis is usually sugar and oxygen gas.

The equation is given below:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy ⇒C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

sugar

This is the equation of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is used by green plants which are autotrophs to manufacture their food.
