Question

The figure given below represents an experimental setup to study a physiological process in plants.​
(iv) Give a well-balanced equation to represent the process.​

​

Answer 1

• The process being studied here is photosynthesis. ​

• Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. ​

• The balanced chemical equation for the process is:
  
  $6C{O}_2+12H_{2}O\underset{\text{Sunlight}}{\overset{\text{Chlorophyll}}{\to }}{C}_6{H}_{12}{O}_6+6O_2+6H_{2}O$
