Which statement correctly gives the overall equation for oxygenic photosynthesis in words?
A
Carbon dioxide + glucose + light energy produce water + oxygen
B
Nitrogen + water + light energy produce amino acids + oxygen
C
Glucose + oxygen + light energy produce carbon dioxide + water
D
Carbon dioxide + water + light energy produce glucose + oxygen
Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Understand the process of oxygenic photosynthesis, which is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Step 2: Recall the general overall equation for oxygenic photosynthesis, which involves carbon dioxide and water as reactants, light energy as the energy source, and glucose and oxygen as products.
Step 3: Write the overall photosynthesis equation in words: Carbon dioxide + water + light energy produce glucose + oxygen.
Step 4: Compare the given options to this equation to identify which one correctly represents the process.
Step 5: Confirm that the correct statement matches the known overall equation for oxygenic photosynthesis.
