Study the diagram, which represents the general equation for photosynthesis. What do the letters Y and Z represent?

Y - glucose
Z - oxygen



Y - glucose
Z - carbon dioxide

Y - carbon dioxide
Z - hydrogen

Y - carbon dioxide 
Z - oxygen

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

Y represents Glucose, a product of cellular respiration. Z represents Oxygen, which is also a product of cellular respiration.

(CO2 + Water + Sunlight = Glucose and Oxygen)

Answer 2

The correct answer is Y - glucose, Z - oxygen

Step-by-step explanation:

In photosynthesis, plants- and also other organisms- take carbon dioxyde (CO₂), water (H₂O) and light (which is absorbed by chlorophyll pigments, those give plants their green color), and they convert inorganic materia in organic materia (chemical energy) in form of sugar. The overall process is described by the following global equation:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen

In the diagram, the equation is:

carbon dioxide + water + sunlight → glucose + oxygen
