Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants utilize sunlight to make food and it takes place inside the green part (chloroplasts) of the plant.

  • The correct equation to represent the overall process of photosynthesis is given as:

6CO2 + 12H2O \(\mathop \to \limits^{Light}\) C6 H12 O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

Where CH12 Orepresents glucoseH2represents water.Orepresents Oxygen.

  • Photosynthesis takes place in the green leaves of plants, and it is the process through which green leafy plants synthesize their food.

Mistake PointsIn general, the equation wrote as -

6CO2 + 12H2\(\mathop \to \limits^{Light}\) CH12 O6 + 6H2O

But the water produced is vaporized.
