HELP!! Can somebody tell me in a sentence how the formula of photosynthesis enter the plant??

Check out this video, this guy does a good job at explaining the basic outline of photosynthesis and you can watch the rest of the videos to go more in Depth.

But Basically this is what happens. the photosynthesis formula is \[6H _{2}O+6CO _{2}\rightarrow C _{6}H _{12}O _{6}+6O _{2}\]
ON the Left side of the arrow are the things that go INTO the plant, and we've been taught all our live that plants need water, Carbon DiOxide, and sun. Thats all the left side mean H2O is water, CO2 is CarbonDiOxide, and sunlight isnt shown in the equation i think because it doesnt have an actual chemical compsition but it IS needed. The Reactions all happen in the Chlorophyll of the plant, so the plant get water(H2O) from the roots, CarbonDiOxide(CO2) by the stomata of the leaves, and sunlight(Photons) directly from the sun to the leaves. So the First part is callec the Calvin Cycle, the H2O goes in is broken by the energy of the sunlight and it serperates away the "O" and the "H" from the "H2O", these then go into the light independent reaction, in this stage it makes what is on the RIGHT side of the arrow which is Glucose(C6H12O6) and they are connected to CO2 which is also brought in later by the stomata of the plant and there is always some oxygen"O" left over so you get the 6O2 on the right side. Thats only basically the paths that the actuall things in the formula take, hoowever there is much more specific detail as to exactly how and what happens.

Answer 2

do you have any question about what certain things mean in the equation?

Answer 3

no.. thank youu

Answer 4

yeah, no problem

Answer 5

6H2O+6CO2→C6H12O6+6O2
