Question

the equation below represents photosynthesis? what are the 2 missing components?
6co₂ + 6h₂o + 6o(2) -> c₆h₁₂o₆ + blank

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Photosynthesis Equation

The correct photosynthesis equation is \(6\text{CO}_2 + 6\text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{Light Energy}
ightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6\text{O}_2\). The first missing component (where "60(2)" is likely a typo for energy input) is Light Energy (or Sunlight).

Step2: Determine the Second Product

From the balanced equation, the products of photosynthesis are glucose (\(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\)) and oxygen (\(\text{O}_2\)). So the second missing component is \(6\text{O}_2\) (or Oxygen).

Answer:

First missing component: Light Energy (or Sunlight); Second missing component: \(6\text{O}_2\) (or Oxygen)
