Question

A student observed a dying plant in the corner of their science classroom. They learned the process of Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration already in class. The students were trying to remember the correct chemical equation for the process. In order for the plant to be successfully creating its own food which chemical equation did the student write correctly?

Answer 1

The general chemical equation for photosynthesis is

6CO2 +6 H20 → C6H1206 + 602,

Where CO2 is carbon dioxide, H20 is water, C6H12O6 is glucose, and O2 as oxygen a byproduct.

the process begins with the splitting of water molecules-Photolysis.

2H20 +2 NADP + 8 Photons → NADPH + 2H+2 O. Photons is sunlight that splits the water molecules.

Cellular respiration is the reverse of the process which is the

C6H1206 +6 O2 → 6H20 +6 CO2 +ATPs.

ATPs is the chief product, while C02 is the byproduct.
