Chapter 22, Problem 22.77E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The process which is represented by the equation $\text{6}{\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}+\text{light}\text{energy}+{\text{6H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\to {\text{C}}_{\text{6}}{\text{H}}_{\text{12}}{\text{O}}_6+6{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ is to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The chlorophyll pigments in plants absorbed the energy from the sunlight. In the plants, this energy drives the reaction of photosynthesis that converts carbon dioxide and water first to glucose, and then into starch and other storage form of energy.
