C6H12O6 is glucose. When it is used in plants etc it "burns" in oxygen to give carbon dioxide energy and water and is
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 = 6H2O + 6 CO2 + ENERGY
-in effect, it is the reverse of photosynthesis.
Respiration
Reduction/Oxidation reactionBiologically it is a catabolic reaction,breaking of molecules. It also a exogonic reaction
Glucose is an organic compound.
It depends which side of the arrow C6H1206 is located on in the equation. If it is located on the left it is a reactant. If it is located on the right is a product.
The reaction 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 is the chemical equation for photosynthesis. In this reaction, carbon dioxide and water are transformed into glucose and oxygen gas with the input of energy. This is the reaction that allows plants to be autotrophs, as the glucose produced can be used as a source of energy.
Respiration
C6H1206 + 602 = 6H20 + 6C02
metabolism - photosynthesis is the process of building food ( read amino acids) from simple molecules by capturing energy where as metabolism is the process by which cells break down these amino acids to extract the energy.
Reduction/Oxidation reactionBiologically it is a catabolic reaction,breaking of molecules. It also a exogonic reaction
glucose or sugar :)
1: 2: 1
It means that at equilibrium the chemical reaction will mainly occur in the direction to the left of the chemical equation eg 6co2 + 6H2o-----> c6h12o6 if equilibrium lies to left it means the dominating direction of the reaction will be to left ie co2 and h2o will be formed from c6h1206 ......hypothetically

the overall reaction/equation is the opposite of photosynthesisC6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
Carbon, oxygen,and hydrogen Actually it is C6H1206
