In the photosynthesis reaction, specifically the overall chemical equation is:
\[ 6 \, \text{CO}_2 + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \]
This shows that 6 carbon atoms from carbon dioxide (6 CO₂) combine to form one molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆), which contains 6 carbon atoms.
Therefore, the answer is **6**.
\[ 6 \, \text{CO}_2 + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \]

Therefore, the answer is **6**.
