Question

Responses

water + oxygen → carbon dioxide + sugar + light
water + oxygen → carbon dioxide + sugar + light
sugar + water → carbon dioxide + oxygen + light
sugar + water → carbon dioxide + oxygen + light
carbon dioxide + oxygen + light → sugar + water
carbon dioxide + oxygen + light → sugar + water
carbon dioxide + water + light → sugar + oxygen

Answer 1

The simplified equation for photosynthesis is:

carbon dioxide + water + light → sugar + oxygen

In chemical symbols, this is often written as:

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

So, the correct choice from your list is:

carbon dioxide + water + light → sugar + oxygen
