  • question_answer
    Which of the following equation can be more appropriate for photosynthesis   [KCET 1994; Kerala PMT 2004]

    A)               \[6C{{O}_{2}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\underset{\text{Chlorophyll}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Light}}}}\,{{C}_{2}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6{{O}_{2}}\]

    B) \[6C{{O}_{2}}+12{{H}_{2}}O\underset{\text{Chlorophyll}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Light}}}}\,{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6{{H}_{2}}O+6{{O}_{2}}\]

    C)           \[12C{{O}_{2}}+6{{H}_{2}}O\underset{\text{Chlorophyll}}{\mathop{\xrightarrow{\text{Light}}}}\,2{{C}_{6}}{{H}_{12}}{{O}_{6}}+6{{O}_{2}}\]

    D)                 None of the above

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                    Photosynthesis reaction shows that "formation of carbohydrates from\[C{{O}_{2}}\]and\[{{H}_{2}}O\]by illuminated green cells of plants,\[{{O}_{2}}\]and \[{{H}_{2}}O\]are the bye products.
