The Process of Photosynthesis

Question 10 • First Semester Biology

How are the products represented in the chemical equation for photosynthesis?

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

Explanation

In the balanced photosynthesis equation, carbon dioxide and water use light energy to form glucose and oxygen: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. The products are on the right side, so the correct choice is C6H12O6 + 6O2.
