2.18 Photosynthesis equations

  1. Carbon Diooxide + water ----chlorophyll----light energy----enzymes---- glucose + oxygen.
  2. Carbon Dioxide and water are the substrates whereas the glucose and oxygen are regarded as glucose and oxygen.
  3. All of this occurs in the presence of chlorophyll, light energy, and enzymes.
  4. The chemical equation for glucose is C6H12O6.
  5. The balanced equation for phtosynthesis is:
    6CO2 + 6H2O----------C6H12O6 + 6O2
