  • Question
  • Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis?


  • Options
  • A. 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
  • B. C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6H2O
  • C. CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2
  • D. 6O2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6CO2

  • Correct Answer
  • 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 

    Explanation

    Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

     

    Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

     

    The overall balanced equation is

     

                   6 CO 2   +     6 H 2 O       ? Sunlight         C 6 H 12 O 6       +       6 O 2 S o u r c e   o f   C a r b o n   &   O x y g e n     +   S o u r c e   o f   E l e c t r o n s   &   H y d r o g e n   +   E n e r g y   t h a t   d r i v e s   P h o t o s y n t h e s i s                           - - - - >   S u g a r   +   G a s   p r o d u c e d   b y   s p l i t t i n g   w a t e r .

     

    Where 

    CO2 = carbon dioxide 

    H2O = water

    C6H12O6 = glucose 

    O2 = oxygen.
