Chemical reaction equations, such as the one for photosynthesis, show the reactants and products of a reaction. how does this simplification misrepresent what takes place during the process of photosynthesis?

Explanation:

Hello! Let's solve this!

Photosynthesis is the process by which, with the use of solar energy and by means of chloroplasts containing chlorophyll, plants transform that energy, with the help of carbon dioxide and water, into chemical energy for the plant.

To be more precise, the reaction is:

6 CO2 + 6 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2

reagents: carbon dioxide, water and solar energy

products: glucose, oxygen that is released into the environment

just finished the test, the answer is d, greg is the least cost-effective because he charges the most for the project

it provides an alternative energy pathway for the reaction to proceed.

a catalyst is a substance that speeds up the rate of a chemical reaction but is not consumed during the course of the reaction.

catalysts increase the rate of reaction without being used up. they do this by lowering the activation energy needed. with a catalyst, more collisions result in a reaction, so the rate of reaction increases. different reactions need different catalysts.

a catalyst works by providing an alternative reaction pathway to the reaction product. the rate of the reaction is increased as this alternative route has a lower activation energy than the reaction route not mediated by the catalyst.
