What cellular process is occurring in an organelle where sunlight enters and starts a chain reaction to produce glucose and oxygen?

• Photosynthesis

• Protein synthesis

• Cellular Respiration

• Chemosynthesis

In animals, a by-product of cellular respiration is-

• Protein

• Heat

• Sugar

• Oxygen

Which of the following is the correct equation for PHOTOSYNTHESIS?

• 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → 6O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

• 6CO₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6H₂O → O₂

• 6O₂ +6H₂O → 6CO₂ +C₆H₁₂O₆

• C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6H₂O + 6CO₂
