Question

Navah writes out the chemical equation for photosynthesis. She includes two reacting molecules to the left of the arrow and two resulting molecules to the right. What must be added to the chemical equation to more accurately represent photosynthesis? light energy, above the arrow chlorophyll, to the left of the arrow enzymes, to the left of the arrow ATP, above the arrow Mark this and return

Answer 1

Carbon dioxide + water ---Light energy--> oxygen + glucose

Answer: light energy above the arrow

Answer 2

The correct option is LIGHT ENERGY ABOVE THE ARROW.
Photosynthesis is the chemical process by which green plants manufacture their food. For the reaction to occur, the reactants needed are carbon dioxide, water and sunlight and the products that will be obtained are glucose and oxygen. When writing the chemical equation for photosynthesis, the presence of sunlight in the reaction has to be indicated by writing it on the middle arrow that points at the products formed.
