Answer:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Explanation:
CO2 = Carbon Dioxide, a reactant taken in from the air around the plant.
H2O= Water, a reactant taken in from the soil around the plant.
C6HH12O6 = Glucose, a byproduct formed from the C in CO2 and the H and O in H2O, which the plant uses for energy.
O2 = Oxygen, a byproduct from the seperation of C from CO2
The plant takes in CO2 and H2O from its environment and then within the chloroplasts gets converted into glucose and O2. The coefficients (the 6 in front of CO2, H2O, and O2) are there to make sure there are equal numbers of each element (C, H, O) on each side of the equation.
