Best Answer

Through photosynthesis, plants use sunlight energy to convert Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to make simple sugars. These simple sugars are the basis for the structural components of the plant, as well as chlorophyll, which allows the plant to gather more sunglight energy.

The formula for this process is as follows: 6CO2 + 12H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6 H2O (Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light → Sugar + Oxygen + Water). As you can see, only half the water is used, but all of it is required for the chemical reaction to occur. (A leading number is how many molecules of the substance there are and a following number is how many of that specific atom there are. For example, 12H2O is 24 Hydrogen atoms and 12 Oxygen atoms.)
