The overall photosynthesis equation is
A.6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
B.C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy
C.6CO₂ + 6O₂ → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O
D.C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2 pyruvate + 2 ATP
Explanation
Core Concept
Carbon dioxide and water, powered by light, yield glucose and oxygen. The oxygen comes from water, not CO₂.
Correct Answer
A6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
