Solution

The correct option is B
H2O + CO2 in the presence of light and chlorophyll yields C6H12O6 + O2 + H2O

This is the building up of complex molecule like carbohydrate from simple raw materials in the presence of light and using Chlorophyll.

Question 27
Which of the following equations is the summary of photosynthesis?

(a) \(6 CO_2 + 12 H_2 O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2 + 6H_2O\)
(b) \(6CO_2+H_2O+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6 H_{12}O_6+O_2+6H_2O\)
(c) \(6CO_2+12H_2O+Chlorophyll+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2 + 6H_2O\)
(d) \(6CO_2 + 12H_2O + Chlorophyll+Sunlight \rightarrow C_6 H_{12}O_6 + 6CO_2+6H_2O\)

Q. Given below is the overall chemical equation of photosynthesis which is incomplete in certain respects.

{CO}_{2} + H_{2} O \overset{Chlorophyll}{\to} C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + H_{2} O + O_{2}

Rewrite the equation in its complete form.

Q. In photosynthesis in plants,

H_{2} O

and

{C O}_{2}

react in presence of light and chlorophyll to give carbohydrate and oxygen. When the carbohydrate is burnt in air, the gases produced are:

CO₂ + H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ + H₂O

Is the given equation correct? If not, correct it.
