Question

part c: write the chemical equation for photosynthesis is symbols and words.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. The reactants are carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)), and the products are glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). Light energy is required for the reaction to occur.

Answer:

• Word equation: Carbon dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen
• Symbol equation: \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{\text{Light}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2\)
