Question

Write the overall summary chemical equation of photosynthesis.

Open in App

Solution

6CO2 + 12H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O

For each molecule of glucose (C6H12O6) produced during photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide (CO2) and twelve molecules of water (H2O) are required.

The molecules of water get oxidized and the electrons so released are then utilised for the reduction of carbon dioxide to form glucose.
