The process by which plants use energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen is called photosynthesis. Give this process as the chemical equation using the symbols for the product and reactant such as
Carbon dioxide-CO2
Glucose C6H12O6
Oxygen-O2
Sunlight-sunlight
Water-H2O
The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
The process of photosynthesis can be represented by the following chemical equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
The chemical equation for photosynthesis can be represented as:
6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
In this equation, 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and 6 molecules of water (H2O) combine with the energy from sunlight to produce one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O2). Sunlight acts as the source of energy for the process.
