Answer: Option C
6CO2 + 12H2O + light --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process by which autotrophs such as green plants generate their food (usually sugar molecules) from simple inorganic molecules like atmospheric carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight trapped by chlorophyll.
From the equation of photosynthesis,
- several units of glucose molecules (C6H12O6) is produced and then stored in plants tissues as starch.
- Oxygen is released as by-product
- Some water is given off also
