Write the overall chemical equation for photosynthesis.
Show Hint
Solution and Explanation
\[ 6CO_2 + 6H_2O \xrightarrow{light\ energy} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 \] Explanation:
In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and water react in the presence of light energy, absorbed by chlorophyll, to produce glucose and oxygen. The glucose produced is used as an energy source by the plant, while oxygen is released as a by-product.
