(d) $6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O + C h l o r o p h y l l + S u n l i g h t \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$

Balance the given equation:

CO2+H2O---->C6H12O6+O2+H2O

ANS .(1) 6CO2+7H2O----->C6H12O6+6O2+H2O is incorrect

Where as (2) 6CO2+12H2O------>C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O is correct.

Why first answer is incorrect and second answer is correct

Complete the following biochemical equation of respiration.

$C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} \to$

What does the equation given below represent?

Q. The process of photosynthesis says
6C02 + 12H2O ---- C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O (as given in the book)
it is a balanced equation..
cant we rewrite it such that

6C02 + 7H2O ---- C6 H12 O6 + 6O2 + H2O
consider the above equation. It is also balanced. Can we write photosynthesis in that way ?
