Answer:

B)100

Explanation:

I can't really explain but I took a test about this and got this question correct

From 600 molecules of oxygen, the number of molecules of glucose generated would be 100 molecules.

From the equation of photosynthesis:

[tex]6CO_2 + 6H_2O ---> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2[/tex]

The mole ratio of glucose to oxygen molecules is 1:6. This means that for every 6 molecules of oxygen produced, 1 molecule of glucose is produced.

Thus, for 600 molecules of oxygen, the molecules of glucose produced would be:

                              600 x 1/6 = 100 molecules
