Word equation for photosynthesis:
carbon dioxide + water ---in the prescence of sunlight and chlorophyll --> glucose + oxygen
Balanced symbol equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2...
This is photosynthesis at its absolute simplest. 6(H20)+6(CO2) (catalyzed by sunlight)--->6(O2)+C6H1206(otherwise known as glucose) The equation is balanced, but I might not have notated it...
The reactants for photosynthesis are 6 carbon dioxide molecules + 12 water molecules + Light Energy which then become a 3-carbon sugar molecule (glucose) + 6 molecules of O2 + 6 water molecules and...
