It is produced from water. Water is broken down by photolysis to get electrons.
Carbon Dioxide
2 atoms
Even i wanted to know the answer to this question!! :p 6CO2+12H2O---> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 I feel the number 12 preceding H2O in the equation of photosynthesis is merely the stoichiometric coefficient that is necessary to show that since 24 atoms of hydrogen are produced, hence 24 hydrogen atoms ought to be used....:/...
The oxygen released by photosynthesis comes from both water and carbon dioxide. 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
The source of hydrogen atoms in glucose formed by photosynthesis is H20 or water. The balanced chemical equation for the photosynthesis process is 6CO2 plus 6H2O and light energy is converted to C6H12O6 plus 6O2.
Since water is comprised of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, when it is split into atoms by plants during photosynthesis the only other atoms other than oxygen that are produced are hydrogen atoms.
The NADPH system is the immediate source for hydrogen atoms for the production of sugar during photosynthesis.
Carbon Dioxide
carbon dioxide
The answer is six.
They come from CO2 and Water. They are the raw materials
6 atoms because of 6CO2.

When atoms lose electrons cations are produced.
