The correct response is **glucose**.
In photosynthesis, the overall equation can be summarized as:
\[ 6 \, \text{CO}_2 + 6 \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 \, \text{O}_2 \]
This means that six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are converted into one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.
