Answer:

Total number of atoms in glucose are 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy → glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Glucose molecule = C₆H₁₂O₆

Total number of atoms = 6+12+6 = 24

Types of atoms = 3 (C,H,O)
