question 2 of 24
how many carbon dioxide molecules react to form one glucose molecule during photosynthesis?
a. 2
b. 3
c. 6
d. 1

Explanation:

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂. From this equation, we can see that 6 carbon - dioxide (CO₂) molecules are required to form one glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) molecule.
