E) Which of the following is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? (1 point)

C H O + O → CO + H O + Energy 6 12 6 2 2 2
6C6H12O6 + 6O2 + sunlight → 6CO2 + 6H2O
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2

1 answer

The correct chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

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

This equation indicates that carbon dioxide and water, using sunlight energy, are converted into glucose and oxygen.
