Question

which is the equation for photosynthesis? c6h12o6 + 6o2 --> 6co2 + 6h2o + atp 6co2 + 6h2o + light --> c6h12o6 + 6o2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide ($\ce{CO_2}$) and water ($\ce{H_2O}$) into glucose ($\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$) and oxygen ($\ce{O_2}$). The left - hand side of the equation should include reactants: carbon dioxide, water, and light energy. The right - hand side should include products: glucose and oxygen. The orange option shows the breakdown of glucose (cellular respiration - like), while the blue option has the correct reactants (6$\ce{CO_2}$, 6$\ce{H_2O}$, Light) and products ( $\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$, 6$\ce{O_2}$) for photosynthesis.

Answer:

6$\ce{CO_2}$ + 6$\ce{H_2O}$ + Light ---> $\ce{C_6H_{12}O_6}$ + 6$\ce{O_2}$ (the equation in the blue box)
