trophs use energy from the sun, along with carbon dioxide and water, to
form glucose and oxygen.
A. Illustrate the photosynthesis equation and label properly.​

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is a process the which the plant sproduce their food in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

They produce glucose and oxygen by utilising raw materials such as water, carbon dioxide where sunlight act as a catalyst.

H2O+CO2------->C6H12O6+O2

(presence of sunlight and chlorophyll)

Answer 2

$6CO_{2} +6H_{2} O$ + sunlight → $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} +6O_{2} +6H_{2} O$

Explanation:

• Photosynthesis is a process by which plants make food by utilizing carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
• Plants have chlorophyll present in leaves which helps in absorbing sunlight and is that is utilized for the process where water and carbon dioxide reacts with each other.
• Balanced equation for photosynthesis is:

$6CO_{2} +6H_{2} O$ + sunlight → $C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} +6O_{2} +6H_{2} O$

Carbon dioxide + Water + sunlight → glucose + oxygen + water

• Carbon dioxide and water reacts together in the presence of sunlight and produces glucose and oxygen.
• Carbon dioxide and oxygen enters and exits from stomata. Water is absorbed through roots and sunlight absorption is done by chlorophyll.
