Given the equation:
6CO\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O → C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) (Under sunlight & Chlorophyll)
The oxygen given off during the above process is derived from
6CO\(_2\) + 6H\(_2\)O → C\(_6\)H\(_{12}\)O\(_6\) + 6O\(_2\) (Under sunlight & Chlorophyll)
The oxygen given off during the above process is derived from
sunlight
chlorophyll
carbon dioxide
atmosphere
water
Uitleg
The oxygen given of by plants is from WATER which is split during photolysis(splitting of water by sunlight).
