Best Answer

6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy ® C6H12O6 + 6O2

  • A. Carbon dioxide plus water yields glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
  • B. Oxygen plus carbon dioxide yields water and glucose.
  • C. Glucose plus oxygen yields carbon dioxide and water.
  • D. Water plus glucose yields oxygen and carbon dioxide.

Only one of the above is correct.

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is typically represented as:
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

However, the chemical symbol for photosynthesis in a broader sense would be the overall process of converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen using sunlight energy, facilitated by chlorophyll in plants.

Photosynthesis is a process, not a chemical. 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + photons -> C6H12O6 + 6 O2.

To show that the oxygen during photosynthesis is liberated by the photolysis of water the following equation is written-

6CO2 + 12 H2O ----Photons & chloroplast----> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6 O2

6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H1206+ 6O2 is the chemical equation....

H20 means water (2 atoms of Hydrogen and Oxygen)

CO2 means carbon dioxide (Carbon and 2 atoms of Oxygen)

C6H12O6 means glucose (6 atoms of carbon, 12 atoms of hydrogen and 6 atoms of oxygen)

O2 means 2 atoms of oxygen

i hope this helps if you have problem, a Periodic Table helps a lot :)

Photosynthesis occur by plants using carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and also release oxygen.

carbon dioxide + water ==> glucose + oxygen

6CO2 + 6H2O + uv light energy ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

In the presence of light (usually "light" is written above the arrow):

6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
