Answer: solar energy + carbon dioxide + water → carbohydrate + oxygen
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is the process of reaction of carbon dioxide with water in the presence of energy (sunlight) ,trapped by chlorophyll pigments in leaves, and enzymes , to produce carbohydrate,(glucose) and and Oxygen molecules as by-products; used for cellular respiration
the first step of this reaction is photolysis of water, that is the splitting of water molecules into : protons and oxygen atoms.
2 H2O + 2 NADP+ + 8 photons (light) → 2 NADPH + 2 H+ + O.
this process takes place in the chlorophyll,of leaves and it is called iight dependent reaction
the second stage is called Light independent reaction , because it does not directly depend on light to imitate the mechanisms of reaction.
It simply involves the reduction or fixing of carbondioxide with the ATPs and NADPH produced from above to give intermediate glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate(GAP) which is converted into GLUCOSE . This reaction is also known as CALVIN CYCLE. it takes place in the stroma of chloroplast.
Answer: The equation for photosynthesis is Solar Energy + Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen.
