Answer : 1. "6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2"
Explanation :

Answer: A) 6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.   Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.   The overall balanced equation is                 6CO2 +  6H2O   →Sunlight    C6H12O6   +   6O2Source of Carbon & Oxygen  + Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + Energy that drives Photosynthesis             ----> Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water.   Where  CO2 = carbon dioxide  H2O = waterC6H12O6 = glucose  O2 = oxygen.
