What are the different parts of the formula for photosynthesis? Practice stating it
in words and writing it in chemist’s shorthand.
What will be an ideal response?
The equation for photosynthesis states that 6 molecules of carbon dioxide plus 6
molecules of water are combined using 672 kilocalories of light energy to produce 1
molecule of glucose, also known as dextrose or corn sugar, and 6 molecules of oxygen.
Note: One kilocalorie is the energy required to heat 1,000 grams of water 1°C or 1 quart
of water approximately 2°F. The chemist's shorthand is—
LIGHT ENERGY
6 Co2 + 6 H2O + 672 kcal = C6H12O6 + 6 O2
carbon + water + light = glucose + oxygen
dioxide energy (sugar)

What is a low water cut out?
A) it is an operating control that shuts off the boiler at the end of every operating cycle when it senses that the boiler has used up its supply of water B) it is a safety device that shuts off the boiler if the water level is low C) it is an operating control that energizes the water fill solenoid at the end of an automatic blow-down cycle D) it is a hand valve installed near the bottom of the boiler that is used for filling and servicing the boiler
