The word equation:- Carbon Dioxide + Water = Glucose + Oxygen UNbalanced symbol equation:- CO2 + H2O = C6H12O6 + O2 BALANCED symbol equation:- 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2 Hope this helps! =] The photosynthesis equation in words is carbon dioxide and water requires light energy to produce glucose and oxygen.

It uses the following reaction Chlorophyll
Sunlight 6H2O + 6CO2 (gives us in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll) C6H12O6 + 6O2well sorry for the poor presentation of the equation but this was the last option it states that water + carbon dioxide(gives us) glucose + Oxygen
Plants gather light energy to convert chemicals they gather through their roots and through the air (CO2) into sugars and carbohydrates. Plants also produce oxygen.
Animals use these sugar/carb products to produce the energy they need to live (not light), as well as the oxygen; and with the wastes they produce- feces, urine (the components of fertilizers) and CO2, replenish the source of what plants need.
It's a nicely balanced system.
The chemical equation for photosynthesis in words is: carbon dioxide + water + light energy → glucose + oxygen.
(organic matter)
carbon dioxide + water ( + light energy) ---> glucose + oxygen
6 CO2 + 6 H2O -------------------> C6H12O6 + 6 O2
12H2O (Water) + 6CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) + Light Energy = 6O2 (Carbon Dioxide) + 6H2O (Water) + C6H12O6 (Glucose)
In words,
Water + Carbon Dioxide --> Glucose + Oxygen
In balanced equation,
6H2O + 6CO2 --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
it is mentioned. cloroplasts is the one that's not mentioned in the chemical equeation for photosynthesis
The general equation for photosynthesis can be summarized as: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2. The product of photosynthesis is glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen gas (O2).
In chemical symbols, the equation would be: 6CO2 + 6H20 + light energy -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 In words, the equation would be: Carbon Dioxide + Water + light energy -----> glucose (sugar) + oxygen
The chemical equations for the processes are opposites of each other. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: solar energy + 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 The chemical equation for cellular respiration is: C6H12O6 + 6O2 ---> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. The ONLY difference is that photosynthesis uses sunlight while cellular respiration produces energy in the form of ATP. :)
The chemical equation is:6 CO2 + 6 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6 H2O (by light irradiation)
