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 reactants in photosynthesis includes 12 molecules of water. However, because there is 6 molecules of water as a product, the equation is often simplified to show 6 molecules of water as a net reactant.
Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dixode into high-engery sugers and oxygen.Recants-carbon dixode and waterProducts-high-energy sugars and oxygen
6 molecules of OXYGEN are used
12 molecules of water are used in the reaction but 6 of them are reformed at the end of the reaction. it is not that 6 of them are used and 6 are given out. all 12 are broken down but only 6 of them are reformed into water at the end.
Throught chemical reactions. The equation looks like this. 6H2O + 6CO2 ---------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 It's called photosynthesis. Plant remove CO2 from the atmosphere and, using the energy from sunlight, combine it with water molecules to make sugars and starches they can store for later use.

12 water molecules are made.
Essentially, photosynthesis takes 12 simple molecules and organizes them into a more complex molecule (glucose) and six oxygen molecules. There are two processes mentioned that indicates entropy is negative (decreasing): simple molecules are organized in to complex molecules and the overall number of molecules decreases.
At least sixthis is because photosynthesis uses Carbon Dioxide, Water and Sunlight, to produce glucose. A glucose molecule is made of 6 carbon, 6 oxygen, and 12 hydrogen atoms. Since carbon dioxide is the only molecule in photosynthesis containing carbon atoms, and it only contains one per molecule, you would need a minimum of six molecules of it combined with six molecules of water in order to produce glucose. (with an extra 12 oxygen atoms)
12h2o
What is this, I'm 12.
It's the reverse of a combustion reaction. 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Note it produces glucose (a hydrocarbon) and oxygen when activated by LIGHT.
Photosynthesis= Sunlight+CO2(carbon dioxide+H2O(water)= C6(6 molecules of carbon) H12(12 molecules of hydrogen)O6(6 molecules of oxygen) *this is glucose, or as we call it, sugars* + 6O2 (6 of the 2 molecules of oxygen which is the extra oxygen that we breathe in)Cellular Respiration= 6O2+(oxygen)C6 H12 O6(glucose/sugars)+a little bit of heat= H2O and CO2.we breathe in 6O2 and consumeC6H12O6*plants give that off*plants take in in H2O, CO2, and sunlight.*we give that off*
