Question

Which of the following equations represents photosynthesis?

a. 6H2O + 6O2 → C6H12O6 + 6CO2
b. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
c. 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
d. 6CO2 + 6O2 → C6H12O6 + 6H2O
e. C6H12O6 + 6CO2 → 6O2 + 6H2O

Answer 1

The equation that represents photosynthesis is ,


`6CO_2 + 6 H_2O —> C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2`

The correct option is (c).

What is photosynthesis?

•This is process performed by green plants to prepare its food using sunlight and carbon dioxide.

•Oxygen and Glucose are the products obtained after photosynthesis.

•This process takes place in chlorophyll of a cell(in chloroplasts)
