Question

The chemical equation below summarizes the process of photosynthesis. 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy à 6O2 + C6H12O6 Where is the energy shown in the equation transferred as a result of photosynthesis? into water into the air into sugars into the ground

Answer 1

The answer is that the main source of energy that is shown in the equation is sun.This is why the process through which the plants produce O2 and glucose is named photosynthesis. Photo - means light, in this case sun light. The plants use the sun light as the nenergy source to perform the given reaction.

Answer 2

Main energy source is the Sun which provides all the necessary energy. In a nut shell , the light energy from the sun is converted into Chemical energy by the plants through the process of photosynthesis. The green pigment chlorophyll present in the leaves traps light energy from the sun . This light energy is used to convert water and carbon-dioxide .
