which of the following does not model photosynthesis?

6H2O+6O2+light ----> C6H12O6+6CO2
6CO2+6H2O+light---->C6H12O6+6O2
carbon dooxide+water+light YIELDS sugars+oxygen
6CO2+6H2O+NADP++light---->C6H12O6+6O2+NADPH

The first equation "6H2O + 6O2 + light → C6H12O6 + 6CO2" does not correctly model photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, the process converts carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) in the presence of light. The correct reaction is typically represented as:

\[ 6CO2 + 6H2O + light \rightarrow C6H12O6 + 6O2 \]

The other equations (the second, third, and fourth) correctly represent the process of photosynthesis in various forms.
