Listing all reactants and products, photosynthesis can be described as:
6 CO2 + 12 H2O → C6H12O6 + 6 O2 + 6 H2O
But because water is both a reactant and a product, the equation can be simplified accounting for net water consumption, which is: 6 CO2+ 6 H2O →C6H12O6+ 6 O2 Carbon dioxide + Water + Light energy → Glucose + Oxygen
Photosynthesis is a lot more complicated than the simplified diagram above. Actually, photosynthesis doesn't actually produce glucose; rather, it produces a 3-carbon compound which is a precursor to glucose. In addition, there are a couple different chemical pathways that plants utilize in different situations (see C3, C4, and CAM plants). In autotrophs, there are organelles within each plant cell called chloroplasts. Chlorophyll is a protein associated with a metal (magnesium). Chlorophyll absorbs energy (photons) from the sun and combines ADP (Adenosine Diphosphate) with a phosphate group to form ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) in a process called phosphorylation. ADP + Phosphate + energy → ATP
This ATP has more energy than ADP. This extra energy is used by a number of other enzymes which build glucose molecules (C6H12O6 above) via the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis.

6 CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 O2.
Esun + 6CO2 + 6H20 --> C6H12O6 + O2 is the overall formula for photosynthesis.
This is the photosynthesis of glucose in plants.
Plants respire all the time, but it can be seen better at night. This is because photosynthesis has the opposite chemical formula, and since there is light, more oxygen returned out, then carbon dioxide is taken in.

photosynthesis
6C02 + 6H20 (Yields) C6H1202 + 602
Esun + 6CO2 + 6H20 --> C6H12O6 + O2 is the overall formula for photosynthesis.
The products of the cellular respiration formula are the reactants of the photosynthesis formula, and the reactants of the cellular respiration formula are the products of the photosynthesis formula. Basically, they are opposite processes.
formula of photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O- > C6H1206 + 602
The Formula for Photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O -----> C6H12O6 (Glucose) + O2
photosynthesis
three
sugar is made of C6H12O6
plants get ingredients for photosynthesis from water and minerals from the ground and sunlight from the sun. the correct formula for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
This is the formula for glucose. The molecular formula C6H12O6 is a carbohydrate or simple sugar. It also is a product of the photosynthesis process.
light + carbon dioxide = (photosynthesis) = glucose (energy)
If u are a plant then u need it to survive
