The correct, chemically balanced equation for photosynthesis is: a. 12co2 + 6h2o + radiant energy -> c6h12o6 + 12o2. b. 6co2 + 12h2o + radiant energy -> c6h12o6 + 6h2o + 6o2. c. 12o + c6h12o6 + 6h2o -> 6co2 +12h2o + energy. d. 12o2 + c6h12o6 + 12h2o -> 6co2 + 12h2o + energy. e. 6o2 + c6h12o6 + 6h2o -> 6co2 + 12h2o + energy.

The correct, chemically balanced equation for photosynthesis is: b. 6CO2+12H2O+radiant energy -> C6H12O6+ 6H2O+6O2

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the synthesis of a compound which is more complex than CO2, O2 and H2O. It requires the presence of radiation/sunlight. Therefore, c, d, and e are incorrect. C6H12O6 is produced in the photosynthesis, not decomposed. O2 is generated in the photosynthesis. Analyzing both a and b, the only chemically balanced equation is b. The option a has an excess of carbon that is not reflected on the right side of the equation.

there is none because earth is stationary and flat.
