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.

(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
