Question

The process by which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Give this process as the chemical equation using the symbols for the product and reactant such as

carbon dioxide- CO2

glucose C6H12O6

oxygen- O2

sunlight- sunlight

water- H2O

Answer 1

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
