Which Equation Represents Photosynthesis

Question

Which equation represents photosynthesis?
A) 6CO₂ + 6O₂ + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O6 + 6H₂O
B) 6H₂O + 6CO₂ + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
C) C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ + sunlight → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O
D) O₂ + H₂O + sunlight → C₆H₁₂O₆ + CO₂

Accepted Answer

This equation represents photosynthesis, where 6 molecules of water (H2O) and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) react with sunlight to produce one molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O2).
