In photosynthesis equation how to determine whether sunlight should be written up the arrow or chlorophyl

Open in App

Solution

In writing the equation for photosynthesis, sunlight should come above the arrow and chlorophyll below the arrow. It is because above the arrow comes the condition, factor responsible for carrying out the process. In the process of photosynthesis, sunlight is the most important factor. Without sunlight photosynthesis will not take place.
Carbon dioxide + Water $\to_{chlorophyll}^{sunlight}$ Glucose + Oxygen
