Which chemical reaction shows photosynthesis?

A water + carbon dioxide + sunlight → oxygen + glucose

B carbon + oxygen → carbon dioxide

C hydrogen + oxygen → water

D nitrogen + hydrogen → ammonia

Respuesta :

A. water + cardon dioxide + sunlight ➡ oxygen + glucose

The answer is; A.

The sunlight is used in the photolysis of water in the light stage of photosynthesis. This breaks down the water molecule to H and O. The H is then  used to reduce carbon dioxide to glucose in the dark stage of photosynthesis while the O is expelled. The chlorophyll pigment is significant in tapping this light energy for photosynthesis.
