How does photosynthesis cause a chemical change?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is one of the processes that plants use to obtain energy in a usable form. It is an example, and a good one at that, of a chemical reaction simply because it involves multiple chemical, certain conditions and definite products. The reaction for photosynthesis is thus:

6CO2 + 6H2O --(Light)--> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This process is useful as it enables plants to turn light energy, usually given from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2), which can be used for the plant's biochemical activities.

Answer 2

photosynthesis is a chemical change because the sunlight that gos into the plant turns into nutrients that eventually turn into a liquid

Answer 3

Because photosynthesis involve many chemical reactions.

Answer 4

Photosynthesis is an example of a chemical reaction because it takes light and changes it into energy which is a chemical change.

Answer 5

It mixes stuff to make other stuff.
