Let's analyze the chemical equation for photosynthesis step by step.
The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
[tex]\[ 6 \, \text{CO}_2 + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \][/tex]
This equation shows the transformation of reactants into products as follows:
- Reactants:
- 6 molecules of carbon dioxide ([tex]\( \text{CO}_2 \)[/tex])
- 6 molecules of water ([tex]\( \text{H}_2\text{O} \)[/tex])
- Products:
- 1 molecule of glucose ([tex]\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)[/tex])
- 6 molecules of oxygen ([tex]\( \text{O}_2 \)[/tex])
Given these observations, let's identify and list the products from the equation:
1. The first product is glucose, represented as [tex]\( \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \)[/tex].
2. The second product is oxygen, represented as [tex]\( 6 \, \text{O}_2 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the products in the chemical equation for photosynthesis are:
[tex]\[ \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \text{ and } 6 \, \text{O}_2 \][/tex]
