Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction where carbon dioxide and water react to form glucose (c6h12o6) and oxygen gas. which represents the proper balanced equations for photosynthesis? hint; its a formula

Photosynthesis is divided into two sub-parts light reaction and dark reaction.

Light reaction of the photosynthesis takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast. The photolysis of water takes place in this reaction which results in the formation of ATP and NADPH. Oxygen is released as the byproduct.

Dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast in which ATP and NADPH are used to fix carbon (obtained from carbon dioxide) into sugars (glucose).

Six molecules of carbon dioxide, 9 molecules of ATP, and 6 molecules of NADPH are consumed in order to produce one molecule of glucose.

The overall reaction is:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
