Per NCERT, what is the OVERALL chemical equation of photosynthesis?
AC₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
BCO₂ + H₂O → glucose + O₂
C6 CO₂ + 12 H₂O → (in presence of chlorophyll + sunlight) → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ + 6 H₂O
D6 H₂O → 6 H + O₂
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. 6 CO₂ + 12 H₂O → (in presence of chlorophyll + sunlight) → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ + 6 H₂O
Per NCERT §5.2.1, photosynthesis: 6 CO₂ + 12 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂ + 6 H₂O. The other options misstate or describe respiration.
