Question

navah writes out the chemical equation for photosynthesis. she includes two reacting molecules to the left of the arrow and two resulting molecules to the right. what must be added to the chemical equation to more accurately represent photosynthesis? light energy, above the arrow chlorophyll, to the left of the arrow enzymes, to the left of the arrow atp, above the arrow

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process that uses light energy to convert carbon - dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. Light energy is a crucial component for this reaction to occur and is typically written above the arrow in the chemical equation to indicate it is the energy source for the reaction. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light energy, enzymes are involved in the reaction process but not written in the basic form of the overall equation as a reactant, and ATP is a product of the light - dependent reactions which contribute to the overall process but is not added in the way described.

Answer:

A. light energy, above the arrow
