The correct and complete equation for the process of photosynthesis in higher plants will be:
1. 6CO2 + 12H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2+ 6H2O
2. 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
3. CO2 + H2O + light energy → [CH2O] + O2
4. C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O

In the Z-scheme, transfer of electrons starts from:
1. the PS II uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally downhill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
2. the PS II downhill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS I, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally uphill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
3. the PS I uphill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS II, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally downhill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
4. the PS I downhill to the acceptor, down the electron transport chain to PS II, transferred to another acceptor after excitation, and finally uphill to NADP+  reducing it to NADPH + H+.
