Question
the chemical equation below summarizes the process of photosynthesis.
6co₂ + 6h₂o + energy à 6o₂ + c₆h₁₂o₆
which is the main source of energy that is shown in the equation?
○ soil
○ sun
○ atp
○ glucose
Photosynthesis is a process in which plants use light energy (from the sun) to convert carbon dioxide (\(CO_2\)) and water (\(H_2O\)) into glucose (\(C_6H_{12}O_6\)) and oxygen (\(O_2\)). Soil provides minerals and support but not the energy for photosynthesis. ATP is an energy - carrying molecule within cells but is not the main energy source for photosynthesis. Glucose is the product of photosynthesis, not the energy source. The sun is the main source of energy for photosynthesis as it provides the light energy required for the reaction to occur.
