Photosynthesis Equation
Represent the overall photosynthesis reaction.
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Formula Explanation
Plants use light energy to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen.
Variables Explained
CO₂ = Carbon dioxide; H₂O = Water; C₆H₁₂O₆ = Glucose; O₂ = Oxygen.
Solved Example
Which gas is released during photosynthesis?
Oxygen (O₂) is released in the overall photosynthesis equation.
