1) what is the complete and balanced equation for photosynthesis?

2) which wavelengths of light are most useful for plants for completion of photosynthesis?

Solution

Explanation part 1:-

The balanced equation for photosynthesis is as follows

6CO2 + 12 H2O-----------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

Carbon dioxide and water acts as raw materials in which water is oxidised and carbon dioxide is reduced thus its a redox reaction involing both reduction and oxidation. Here light energy is converted into chemical enrgy with the help of chlorophyll.

2:- 400-700nm of wave length is called PAR (Photosynthetically active radiation) that participate in photosynthesis. Among these 680nm and 700nm are best
