The general equation is:
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
But the phenomenon is more complex; see the link below.
Carbon dioxide and glucose is essential for photosynthesis to take place. The equation for photosynthesis; carbon dioxide + glucose = oxygen + water. This can be reversed for the respiration equation.
H20+CO2---------->Glucose(C6H1206)+O2
Carbon dioxide + water + glucose + oxygen
the chemical equation for photosynthesis is: water + carbon dioxide + sunlight = oxygen + glucose so the first three are the requirments and the last two are the final product of the process
6CO2 + 6H2O + light and chloroplast yeilds C6H12O6 [glucose molecule] + 602
Carbon dioxide and glucose is essential for photosynthesis to take place. The equation for photosynthesis; carbon dioxide + glucose = oxygen + water. This can be reversed for the respiration equation.
It is called a photosynthesis equation.
They both use the same things but photosynthesis's products are what respiration starts with like respirtion needs oxgyen and glucose or sugar and photosynthesis is what give the oxgyen and glucose (sugar).
Because the end products of photosynthesis (glucose and oxygen) are the requirement to start cellular respiration.
Ofcourse, remember that the equation for photosynthesis is just the reverse equation for respiration.Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon Dioxide + WaterC6H1206 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2OPhotosynthesis: Carbon Dioxide + Water -> Glucose + Oxygen6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H1206 + 6O2
Oxygen + Water ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Glucose
Oxygen + Water ---------> Carbon Dioxide + Glucose
In laymen's terms, sugar and oxygen are the products. Chemically, the sugar is glucose: C6H12O6, and oxygen is released as a gas: O2. Obviously there are many intermediate products, but glucose and oxygen are the final products.
photosynthesis
carbon dioxide + water -> oxygen + glucose (sugar)
the photosynthesis equation is CO2+H2O+sunlight=C6H12O6+ O2 meaning that the products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen.
Well as the word equation for the photosynthesis reaction states that:Carbon dioxide + Water (in the presence of light energy) → Glucose + OxygenIn other words, the compound that is formed at the end of the reaction is glucose and oxygen. Balanced equation to represent photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O (+light energy)--------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
