The equation for photosynthesis is:
\[\underline{6 \, \text{CO}_2} + \underline{6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O}} \, \xrightarrow{\text{light energy}} \, \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 \, + \, \text{6 \, O}_2\]
In this representation:
- The reactants, which are the substances that undergo the reaction, are underlined:
- \(6 \text{CO}_2\) (carbon dioxide)
- \(6 \text{H}_2\text{O}\) (water)
- The products, which are the substances formed as a result of the reaction, are circled:
- \(\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6\) (glucose)
- \(6 \text{O}_2\) (oxygen)
