6o₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆ -> 6co₂ + 6h₂o
6co₂ + 6h₂o -> 6o₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)) into glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). The first option shows the reverse process (cellular respiration). The second option correctly represents photosynthesis with carbon dioxide and water as reactants and oxygen and glucose as products.

Answer:

Second option: \(6CO_2 + 6H_2O
ightarrow6O_2 + C_6H_{12}O_6\)
