Detailed explanation-1: -The balanced version is: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.) In simple terms: carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen. This is photosynthesis, and without it, there likely would be no plants or animals.
Detailed explanation-2: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy C6H12O6 + 6O2. The chemical equation for respiration is C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy. Photosynthesis and respiration are chemical reactions that have chemical equations.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide + Water Glucose (sugar) + Oxygen CO2 + H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 Cellular respiration or aerobic respiration is a series of chemical reactions which begin with the reactants of sugar in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water as waste products.
