Answer: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- A C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O
- B 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
- C CO2 + H2O → glucose
- D 6H2O + 6CO2 → 6CH2O + 6O2
Correct answer: B. 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Explanation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2. Carbon dioxide and water are converted to glucose and oxygen using light.
Simplified photosynthesis diagram: light energy, CO2, and H2O enter the leaf and are converted in the chloroplast into glucose and O2.
