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 the reaction to occur and is typically written above the arrow in the chemical equation of photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a pigment that absorbs light, enzymes are involved in the reaction process but not written in the general equation in this way, and ATP is a product of some steps in photosynthesis, not something written above the arrow as a requirement for the overall reaction.

Answer:

A. light energy, above the arrow
