Chemical reaction equations, such as the one for photosynthesis, show the reactants and products of a reaction. How does this simplification misrepresent what takes place during the process of photosynthesis? It does not show where in a cell photosynthesis occurs. It does not show how long photosynthesis takes to happen. It does not show that photosynthesis consists of many separate reactions. It does not show the number of molecules required to produce glucose.
