Question

Which one of the following correctly depicts the biochemical reaction for photosynthesis?

• A. $6CO_{2} + 12H_{2}O\overset{Sunlight}{\overset{\rightarrow}{\quad Chlorophyll\quad}}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2} + 6H_{2}O$
• B. $C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}\overset{\quad Enzymes\quad}{\rightarrow}6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O + energy$
• C. $C_{6}H_{12}O_{2} + 6H_{2}O \rightarrow 6CO_{2} + 12H_{2}O + energy$
• D. $6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O\overset{Sunlight}{\overset{\rightarrow}{\quad Chlorophyll\quad}}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$6CO_{2} + 12H_{2}O\overset{Sunlight}{\overset{\rightarrow}{\quad Chlorophyll\quad}}C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2} + 6H_{2}O$
