Question

The equation given below represents photosynthesis.

chlorophyll
X+Water −→−−−−−-> Glucose+Y
sunlight

Which of the following is represented by X and Y in the given equation?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.

Answer 2

X represents carbon dioxide and Y represents Oxygen.

1. Photosynthesis is the process through which plants utilizes atmospheric carbon dioxide to produce oxygen gas, which is consumed by humans and animals for living.
2. The glucose produced through the process is used as source of energy for their metabolic functions and growth.
3. Sunlight is captured by a green pigment named chlorophyll.
