The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is.
12 H2O + 6 CO2 =in the presence of sunlight & chlorophyll= 6 H2O + 6 O2 + C6H12O6
As you can see water (H2O) and carbon di-oxide (CO2) are needed in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
A plant needs these for photosynthesis:
sunlight
water
chlorophyll
carbon dioxide

∙ 12y agoQuite simply, plants need CO2 (carbon Dioxide), water, and sunlight.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant, specifically the palisade cells, which contain the chloroplasts needed for photosynthesis (these contain chlorophyll, the chemical which makes theleaves appear green).
Water is taken up through the roots, via transpiration, while CO2 is collected through pores at the base os the leaf called stomata.
the equations for photosynthesis are:
Carbon dioxide+Water+Light energy > Glucose+ Oxygen
6CO2+6H20+ Sunlight > C6H12O6+6O2

Can humans live without photosynthesis?
Humans themselves do not use photosynthesis, but because humans depend on plants, as well as other animals that eat plants, in order to live, no, humans could not live without photosynthesis. Unless plants had another way to make food for themselves, humans could not live without photosynthesis.
How do plants obtain the water they need for photosynthesis?
Plants get the water they require for photosynthesis by absorbing from the soil through their root systems. It is then transported up the stem and to the leaves where is is used to synthesise sugars through photosynthesis.
Plants need carbon dioxide?
Yes... Plants really need carbon dioxide for they use it for photosynthesis.
Do humans need photosynthesis to survive explain your answer?
Indirectly, yes. We humans eat plants; plants grow and generate energy by photosynthesis, so we need it. Or, we humans eat animals, and the animals eat plants, which use photosynthesis. At some level, our life depends on plants.
Why can plant perform photosynthesis but animals cannot?
plants need to photosynthesis as this is how they make their food. animals do not as they get their food from other sources such as plants and other animals.
What do plants need that animals do not specifically need?
Plants need sunlight to conduct photosynthesis.
What gas do plants need for photosynthesis to take place?
The gas that plants need for photosynthesis is carbon dioxcide it is the only gas they take in.
Does a plant need to carry out photosynthesis to survive?
yes plants need photosynthesis to survive, plants make their own food in the form of sugars
Why do plants need a pedal?
To produce photosynthesis
Do plants need Photosynthesis to survive?
yes
What process do plants need to carry out?
photosynthesis
Why do plants need chrophyll?
To conduct photosynthesis.
What do plants need water for?
They need water to perform photosynthesis.
How does the carbon dioxide which plants need for photosynthesis get into the plants?
Through their stomata
Does photosynthesis need water?
Yes, plants need water for photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
What does photosynthesis need to happen?
plants need sun water and carbon gas to go through photosynthesis
What structure do plants need that animal do not need?
Plants need their leaves to gather sunlight for the purpose of photosynthesis.
