Best Answer

6CO2 + 6H2O ->(+ photons of light ) -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This equation says, carbon dioxide gas plus water ( + light ) equals glucose, a sugar, and oxygen gas.

So, yes, photosynthesis, the equation above, produces sugar.

sugar for a plants is food.The 3 basic things a plant needs to perform

photosynthesis are: water, sunlight & carbon dioxside. Amazingly through the plant cell something in the cell called ''chloroplast'' allows photosynthesis take place and makes the plant green.

Carbon dioxide is converted into sugars in a process called carbon fixation. Carbon fixation is a redox reaction, so photosynthesis needs to supply both a source of energy to drive this process, and the electrons needed to convert carbon dioxide into carbohydrate, which is a reduction reaction. In general outline, photosynthesis is the opposite of cellular respiration, where glucose and other compounds are oxidized to produce carbon dioxide, water, and release chemical energy. However, the two processes take place through a different sequence of chemical reactions and in different cellular compartments.

The general equation for photosynthesis is therefore:2n CO2 + 2n H2O + photons → 2(CH2O)n + n O2 + 2n A
