Question

homework - photosynthesis
complete the blanks in the overall equation of photosynthesis: 6 + 6 → c6h12o6 + 6

Explanation:

Step1: Recall photosynthesis equation

The overall equation of photosynthesis uses carbon - dioxide, water and produces glucose and oxygen with the help of light energy.

Step2: Fill in the blanks

The reactants are carbon - dioxide ($CO_2$) and water ($H_2O$), and the product is oxygen ($O_2$). So the equation is $6CO_2+6H_2O
ightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$.

Answer:

First blank: $CO_2$; Second blank: $H_2O$; Third blank: $O_2$
