Why is sunlight written above the arrow in the equation rather than no either side of it?

Energy from SUNLIGHT + CO2(g) + H2O(l) = C6H12O6 (glucose) + O2(g)
The above is unbalanced, but it shows that sunlight is on the left side of the equation.
Sunlight provides the energy for the reaction to take place, without it nothing would really happen. Therefore it is an INPUT into the equation, thus it is on the left side. Outputs are placed on the right side of the equation.

∙ 16y agoThe word sunlight is above the arrow in the equation for photosynthesis because it is not a reactant or a product. Sunlight is essential, but it is never used up. (In other words you can't run out of sunlight) I got this answer off another web-site. I hope it helped answer your question.

∙ 13y agoIf you're talking about photosynthesis, it's because sunlight is a changing factor, not actually part of the scientific equation. If it were on either side it would be a reactant or product, but it's not. Think of sunlight sort of like a catalyst.

∙ 12y agoIt is the energy needed to start the equation. Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction, meaning that in order for it to occur, energy must first be added to the equation. Light is this starter energy.

∙ 13y agonearly living things obtain energy either directly or inderictly from the energy of sunlight captured during photosynthesis....

Because it wants to be on that side of the equation

Would it be OH2 or parentheses OH parentheses 2 for two hydroxides?
Two hydroxide ions would best be written as 2 OH-1 in an ionic equation, rather than either of the alternatives given in the question. If the two hydroxide ions occur together with a divalent cation such as magnesium in a compound, then the hydroxide ions would be written as (OH)2. Two ions should never be written as OH2, because that is the formula for water, with the ions in an unconventional order, rather than the formula of ions at all.
What is chemoautotrophs?
A chemoautotroph is an archaea that make their food using chemical energy rather than energy from sunlight
How does bacteria get energy without sunlight?
Bacteria living in deep-sea communities obtain their energy from chemical sources, rather than from sunlight. They use hydrogen sulfide molecules that are clustered around deep-sea hydrothermal vents as their food sources.
Why are mosses frequently found in shady areas rather than if open sun?
they dont need much sunlight and need the moistere
Why few producers live deep below a lakes surface?
Some producers use chemicals rather than sunlight ,this processes is called chemosynthesis

Why is sunlight written above the arrow in the equation of photosynthesis rather than on either side?
Sunlight is written above the arrow in the equation of photosynthesis to indicate that it acts as a catalyst for the overall reaction. This positioning highlights that sunlight is not consumed or changed in the process but is necessary for the reaction to occur. It helps to clarify that sunlight plays a specific role in driving the photosynthetic reaction.

What is a vectorial equation?
A vertical equation is written from top to bottom, rather than from left to right.
What equation is a integer?
An integer is not an equation, but rather a counting number.
Which equation can be used to find the horizontal length r of the illuminated area?
Since I can't see either the illuminated area or the list of choices, my chance of selecting the appropriate equation is looking rather dim.
Which is the substance that enables a leaf to use sunlight to produce food?
This is one of my questions for home work and i dont know either but i hope that someone answers it plz answer it it is rather chlorophyll photosynthesis

Why is a catalyst written above the arrow in a chemical equation rather than with the reactants?
The enzyme is written above the arrow of the chemical equation because it is involved in the reaction without being changed by it or used up in the reaction. It is not a reactant or a product.
