Quite a few things! All of life is based on carbon, which is more ofen than not bound to hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Sugars are based on carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen as are fats. There is an old joke, which you may be referring to, that takes the molecular formula of formaldehyde (CH2O) and calls it C-water (seawater--get it?).

Water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = photosynthesis, which is the process by which plants use these ingredients to create glucose and oxygen. This process is vital for sustaining life on Earth as plants provide food and oxygen for other living organisms.
CO2 + H2O ----> H2CO3
H2CO3 is the Carbonic acid, which is mainly found in club soda, soft drinks, etc.
Oxygen and Glucose!
6CO2 + 6H20 + Light + Chlorophyll = C6H12O6 + 6O2
(English)
6 Carbon Dioxide + 6 Water + Light + Chlorophyll
= 6 Glucose + 6 Oxygen

carbon dioxide, water and sunlight carbon dioxide, water and sunlight
The four ingredients needed by a plant to perform photosynthesis are sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll. Sunlight provides the energy needed for the process, while carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose. Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures sunlight and gives plants their green color.
Plants require sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis. Sunlight provides energy for the process, while water and carbon dioxide are used to produce glucose, the plant's main energy source.
Sunlight, a photosynthetic compound such as chlorophyll, and traces of magnesium.
The gas that is necessary for photosynthesis is carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide has a chemical reaction with the water and sunlight to create glucose.
