Where does oxygen come from during photosynthesis?
1. Oxidation of water
2. Oxidation of glucose
3. Reduction of glucose
4. From CO2
The correct equation, representing the overall process of photosynthesis is –
(1) 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2
(2) 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
(3) 6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
(4) 6CO2 + 12H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 + H2O
Which of the following statement is incorrect?
