among 12H20 why only 6 h20 is used during photolysis of water?
what is glycogen????
what is glycogen????
The water molecules in this equation:
6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
can be cancelled to give the net equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Dividing the second equation by 6 gives the general equation CO2 + H2O → [CH2O] + O2.
The first equation is more informative because it emphasises the water molecules’ roles in photosynthesis. There is water on both sides of the equation because 12 water molecules are consumed and 6 new ones are formed*.
6CO2 + 12H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
Regular = atoms from carbon dioxide
Bold = atoms from water
Water is the reactant and product of the light-dependent (photo-) and light-independent (-synthesis) reactions, respectively. These complex reactions contain multiple steps to produce sugar for respiration.
The light-dependent reaction uses H2O to produce O2:
· Water molecules are split, providing hydrogen ions (which are also protons) (H+), electrons (e-) and O2 as a by-product.
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in humans, animals, fungi, and bacteria. The polysaccharide structure represents the main storage form of glucose in the body.
