In one sentences, explain how the chemical equation for photosynthesis shows that plants cycle matter. Include the number of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation.(2 points)

Answer 1

The chemical equation for photosynthesis (6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2) demonstrates the cycling of matter in plants by showing that 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water are transformed into 1 molecule of glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen, with the same atoms being rearranged and recycled in the process.
