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

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy. Chlorophyll is a pigment in plants that absorbs light, but it is not a reactant. Enzymes are involved in many biological reactions but are not typically written in the basic chemical equation for photosynthesis. ATP is a product of certain steps in photosynthesis (like the light - dependent reactions) but is not added above the arrow in the overall equation. The overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2\), and light energy (usually denoted as \(h
u\) or just "light") is required for the reaction to occur and is placed above the arrow.

Answer:

light energy, above the arrow
