which of the following is the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

a 6C6H12O6 + 6O2 + sunlight --> 6CO2 + 6H2O
b C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy
c C6H12O6 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy
d 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

1 answer

The correct chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

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

This equation shows that carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight, are converted into glucose and oxygen.
