The diagram shows a summary of photosynthesis. Which substance is Y? a O2 b H2O c CO2 d glucose

Answer 1

In the context of photosynthesis, the general equation can be summarized as:

\[ 6CO_2 + 6H_2O + light \ energy \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \]

In this equation, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are raw materials, while glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2) are products of the process.

If Y refers to the product of photosynthesis in the typical context of a summary diagram, it would correspond to the glucose, C6H12O6. Therefore, if Y is indicated as a product and you have options a (O2), b (H2O), c (CO2), and d (glucose), then Y would be:

d glucose.
