Given the equation:
6CO\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O → C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) {Under sunlight & Chlorophyll)
The process represented by the above equation is?
6CO\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O → C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) {Under sunlight & Chlorophyll)
The process represented by the above equation is?
proteinsynthesis
respiration
photosynthesis
transpiration
translocation
Explication
The given equation is that of photosynthesis which is the use of sunlight and chlorophyll by green plants in order to yield their food. The equation yields sugar and oxygen.
