Light Dependent Reactions in Photosynthesis

Question 12 • 41111de1 ECAD Fall 2026 - Q2 - NM-Biology - S1

Which is the correct chemical equation for photosynthesis?

Answer
A
6CO2 + 6H2O ® C6H12O6 + 6O2
B
C6H12O6 + 6O2 ® 6CO2 + 6H2O
C
3CO2 + 3H2O + 3O2® C6H12O6
D
6O2 + 6H2O ® C6H12O6 + 6CO2

Explanation

Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen, using light energy. The balanced equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2, so choice A is correct. Choice B shows the overall equation for cellular respiration in reverse order.
