The balanced equation for the production of sugars by photosynthesis is shown below.
energy
C6H12O6 + 60₂
sugar
oxygen
6CO₂ + 6H₂O
Water
carbon dioxide
This equation demonstrates the law of conservation of mass because
A. there is the same number of compounds on the right side of the equation as the left.
B. the sugar molecule on the right has the same mass as the carbon dioxide molecules on the left.
C. there are more oxygen atoms on the right side of the equation than on the left.
D. there is the same number of each type of atom on the right side of the equation as the left.
