12. Using the chemical equation for photosynthesis, choose the correct number of atoms from the drop down box for the element shown in the reactants and products. (6 points)

Sun: 6 CO + 6 H O——> C H O + 6 O
2 2 6 12 6 2

1 answer

The correct number of atoms for the element in the reactants and products are as follows:

Reactants:
- Carbon (C): 6 atoms
- Oxygen (O): 12 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 12 atoms

Products:
- Carbon (C): 6 atoms
- Oxygen (O): 12 atoms
- Hydrogen (H): 6 atoms
