6H2O + 6CO2 + sunlight → C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2
So the building blocks would be water and carbon dioxide

Is simple sugar the building block of carbohydrates?
No, it's not.
What is the basic building block of protein and carboydrates?
Generally speaking proteins are build up with amino acids and carbohydrates are build from "sugar" rings, which is build up from C, H an O's obeying Cm(H2O)n.
Is sugar an incomplete protein?
Sugar is not a protein. It is a carbohydrate. A sugar molecule can be used as a building block of a protein but it is not a protein.
What in sugar helps plants grow?
Sugar (glucose, in particular) is the basis for more complex carbohydrates. It is also the fundamental building block for the plant product called "cellulose". Cellulose is the tough substance that holds plants together, and is used to provide structure to the plant so that it can grow. Thus, when you provide a plant with sugar, you are providing it with the building blocks of cellulose, which can be used to increase the size of the plant structure.
What is sugar plus phosphate plus base?
A nucleic acid which is the building block of DNA
What are the building blocks of starch?
The building block of Starch {and Cellulose in an alternate configuration} is the simple sugar known as Glucose.
What are nucleotides the building blocks of?
A base, a sugar, and a phosphate. I didn't know either but I just looked it up (:
What is the building block of DNA?
Sugar- diribonucleic acid, Phosphates, and nucleotide bases.
What are carbohydrates building blocks called?
The building block of a carbohydrate is mono saccharides.
How Does food making in plants take place?
By means of a catalyst called chlorophyll, plants are able to use the energy of sunlight to combine water and carbon dioxide (both of which compounds are readily available in the environment) into a simple sugar. With that sugar, other substances can then be made, using sugar as a source of energy as well as a building block for more complicated molecules such as cellulose, and using other substances absorbed from the soil.
Building blocks of sugar?
it depends on what biomolecule it is.. for carbohydrates, the building block is glucose. for protein is lipid, for fats are glycerol and fatty acids and for nucleic acid are nucleotides..
What raw materiel do plants need to build sugar molecule?
You need Co2, water and energy from the sun.
