Which of the following equations best represents photosynthesis? a. c + o2 + h2o ® co2 + hoh c. 6c + 6h2o ® c6h12o6 b. 6co2 + 6h2o ® c6h12o6 + 6o2 d. c6h12o6 ® 6co2 + 6h2o

The correct equation is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O ⇔ C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂.

Explanation:

In the process of photosynthesis, the carbon dioxide and water in the existence of energy obtained from sunlight produces oxygen and glucose. Generally, the carbon dioxide is consumed via the plant leaves and the water through the roots. The chloroplasts, that is, the organelles present in the plant comprises a pigment known as chlorophyll that possesses the tendency to captivate energy from the Sun. The glucose generated is the product of the process that is, utilized by the plant for its own cellular activities, while the oxygen is the byproduct.
