Question #2eaf7

Answer 1

Carbon Dioxide (`CO_2`)+Water(`H_2O`)`rarr`Glucose(`C_6H_12O_2`)+Oxygen(`O_2`) (equation to represent generation of food source energy through sunlight)

Explanation:

Plant fixes `CO_2` using sunlight to sugar using following reaction:

`CO_2`+`H_2O` `rarr` `C_6H_12O_2`+`O_2`

In terms of respiration plant produces energy in the following equation:

`C_6H_12O_2`+`O_2` `rarr` `CO_2`+`H_2O`

If no oxygen is present, then the equation would change to: Glucose(`C_6H_12O_2`)-> Ethanol(`C_2H_5OH`)+Energy(2ATP molecules)+Carbon Dioxide(#CO_2)

as the plant would undergo Anaerobic respiration.
