6CO2 + 12H2O = C6H12O6 + 6H2O + CO2

as a chemical equation is wrong; it is unbalanced:

  1. there are 6 carbon on the left but 7 on the right; and
  2. 24 oxygen on the left but only 14 on the right.

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

is balanced and is a close representation of photosynthesis:

  • 6CO2 + 6H2O (in the presence of sunlight (energy) & chlorophyll) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

The reverse, respiration is:

  • C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O

along with the release of energy.
