As You Will Learn in Later Chapters, Many Biological Processes $\rightarrow$

As you will learn in later chapters, many biological processes can be expressed as chemical reactions. Based on what you know regarding chloroplasts, which of the following MOST likely depicts the chemical reaction for photosynthesis?

A) C₆H₁₂O₆ (sugar) + 6O₂ (oxygen) $\rightarrow$ 6CO₂ (carbon dioxide)
B) C₆H₁₂ O₆ (sugar) $\rightarrow$ 6CO₂ (carbon dioxide) + 6H₂O (water)
C) C₆H₁₂O₆ (sugar) + 6O₂ (oxygen) $\rightarrow$ 6CO₂ (carbon dioxide) + 6H₂O (water)
D) 6CO₂ (carbon dioxide) + 6H₂O (water) $\rightarrow$ C₆H₁₂O₆ (sugar) + 6O2 (oxygen)
E) 6CO₂ (carbon dioxide) + 6H₂O (water) $\rightarrow$ 6O₂ (oxygen)
