The sum of reactions in the Calvin cycle (photosynthesis in green chloroplasts) is the following:
3 CO2 + 6 NADPH + 5 H2O + 9 ATP → glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P) + 2 H+ + 6 NADP+ + 9 ADP + 8 Pi-
The carbohydrate products of the Calvin cycle are three-carbon sugar phosphate molecules, or "triose phosphates," namely, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P, CH2OH-CHOH-CHO)
Hexose (six-carbon, normal) sugars like glucose and fructose are not a product of the Calvin cycle. Although many texts list a product of photosynthesis as C6H12O6, this is mainly a convenience to counter the equation of respiration, where six-carbon sugars are oxidized in mitochondria.
6 carbon dioxides!
The 3 materials needed for photosynthesis are water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. These 3 materials combined enable the plant to make a sugary substance known as glucose. 6 molecules of water+6 molecules of carbon dioxide=1 molecule of sugar+6 molecules of oxygen* *=The plant doesn't need the oxygen so it releases it into the air. That's how we get our oxygen. :)
Six carbon dioxide molecules (CO2) are required to create one glucose molecule (C6H12O6) because carbon dioxide has one carbon per molecule, while glucose molecules have six carbons.
None. You see, carbon dioxide, per say, is not used in the chemical formula for glusose, which is C6-H12-O6. It makes use of six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms, but no carbon dioxide moleecules.
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
carbon dioxide and somethin else
Photosynthesis starts with 6 molecules of carbon dioxide and 6 molecules of water.
6 carbon dioxides!
ATP is used in the Calvin cycle to provide energy for the conversion of carbon dioxide into glucose. This energy is needed to drive the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide molecules into glucose molecules.
Since the chemical equation for photosynthesis is : 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light energy --> C6H12O6 + 6 O2 This means that carbon dioxide, light energy, and water molecules are needed for photosynthesis ( to produce glucose and oxygen).

When a number is written in front of a molecule, that shows how many molecules of that substance are needed to balance the equation. For instance...N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3which means to get two molecules of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen, we need one N2 molecule and three H2 molecules.

Plants use water and carbon dioxide to make glucose through the process of photosynthesis. Water is absorbed through the roots and carbon dioxide is taken in through tiny pores in the leaves called stomata.
Each glucose molecule contains 6 carbon atoms. Thus we need 18 molecules of CO2 to make 3 molecules of glucose.
