in the overall equation for photosynthesis, six molecules of carbon dioxide result in six molecules of
o glucose
o water
o oxygen
o atp

Explanation:

The overall equation for photosynthesis is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂. Six molecules of carbon dioxide react with six molecules of water in the presence of light energy to produce one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen. ATP is produced during the light - dependent reactions of photosynthesis but is not a product of the overall balanced equation in the same sense as the others listed. Water is a reactant, not a product formed from just the carbon - dioxide reaction in the overall equation context. Oxygen is the product formed along with glucose when carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis.

Answer:

C. oxygen
