The chemical equation for photosynthesis can be represented as follows:
\[ 6 , \text{CO}_2 + 6 , \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{sunlight} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 , \text{O}_2 \]
In this equation:
- 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂) and 6 molecules of water (H₂O) are combined using sunlight to produce 1 molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and 6 molecules of oxygen (O₂).
