CO2 is a chemist's way of writing carbon dioxide. The "6" means there are six molecules of carbon dioxide.
In Biology we often see 6CO2 on the left side of an equation for photosynthesis, where six carbon dioxide molecules combine with six molecules of water to form glucose and six molecules of oxygen. We also see 6CO2 on the right-hand side of an equation for aerobic respiration, in which a molecule of glucose reacts with six molecules of oxygen, forming six molecules each of carbon dioxide and water.
Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy (ATP + heat)
C6 H12 06 + 602 ----> 6C02 + 6H20 + Energy
6CO2 + 6H20 + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2
C6H12O6+602=6CO2=6H2O=ENERGY C6H12O6+602=6CO2=6H2O=ENERGY C6H12O6+602=6CO2=6H2O=ENERGY C6H12O6+602=6CO2=6H2O=ENERGY
6CO2+6H2O ----yields(sunlight)---- C6H12O6+6CO2
tHE EQUATION FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS IS, 6CO2+6H2O+ sunlight+C6H12O6+6O2and the equation for cellular respiration is, C6H12O6+6O2+6H2O+6CO2+ATP.cellular respirationC6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2Ophotosynthesis is the opposite6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H1206 + 6O2
photosynthesis eqn :- 6CO2 + 12H2O -----> C6H12O6 +6O2 Respiratory eqn :- C6H12O6 +6O2 -----> 6CO2 + 12H2O So, photosynthesis eqn = Respiration eqn
6CO2 + 12H2O = C6H12O6 + 6H2O + CO2as a chemical equation is wrong; it is unbalanced:there are 6 carbon on the left but 7 on the right; and24 oxygen on the left but only 14 on the right.6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2is balanced and is a close representation of photosynthesis:6CO2 + 6H2O (in the presence of sunlight (energy) & chlorophyll) --> C6H12O6 + 6O2The reverse, respiration is:C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2Oalong with the release of energy.
Respiiration. C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O ( and ATP energy produced ) Photosynthesis. 6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
6o2 + c6h12o6 ---> 6co2 + 6h2o
Notice that the equation for cellular respiration is the direct opposite of photosynthesis: Cellular Respiration: C6H12O6 + 6O2 → 6CO2 + 6H2O. Photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6+ 6O.

Photosynthesis 6CO2 + 12 H2O = C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 CellulaarRespiration C6H12O6 + 6O2 = 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy
The name for the chemical equation 6CO2 + 6H2O is photosynthesis, which is a process in which plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
