Correct choices:
- It does not show if the reaction is reversible.
- It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate steps.
Why: the equation gives the overall stoichiometry (reactants and products and their coefficients), so it does show the reactants and the number of molecules required. What it omits are mechanistic/condition details (whether the arrow is reversible, the multiple light-driven steps and intermediates, the requirement for light and enzymes, cellular location, etc.).
