Explaining the equations for photosynthesis

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-13] [Hit: ]
Basically just the same as respiration, but backwards.......
What are the word and symbol equations? I've seen different ones and I'm not too sure.
Also please explain them simply.
Thanks :) x

Photosynthesis's equation is
6CO2 + 6H2O + Light Energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Photosynthesis is basically a process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy. Photosynthesis takes carbon dioxide, water and energy (sunlight) to make glucose.

Hope this helps!

-
CO2 + H20 + Light energy = O2 + C6H12O6

This means that for photosynthesis to occur, Carbon Dioxide, Water, and light energy must combine in order to create Oxygen and Glucose. The break down of glucose goes like this, six Carbon atoms, 12 Hydrogen atoms, and 6 Oxygen Atoms, all combine to create the wonderful thing known as glucose, AKA sugar

-
Co2 + H2o + energy from sunlight = o2+ c6h12o6
cellular respiration is this backwards (without the sunlight)
In simple terms, the air animals breath out, and water turn into the air we need to breath in and sugar through the energy received from sunlight.

-
6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + Water (+ light energy) -> Glucose (energy) + Oxygen

Basically just the same as respiration, but backwards.
