(The bond between the first and second phosphates is also high-energy.) (But please note that the term is not being used in the same sense as the term bond energy. In fact, these bonds are actually weak bonds with low bond energies.) phosphate bond.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants using light energy from the sun convert carbon dioxide and water to glucose sugar and oxygen gas through a series of reactions. The overall equation for photosynthesis is. carbon dioxide + water =light energy=> glucose + oxygen. 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O =light energy=> C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 . Light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by the production of glucose molecules. Photosynthesis is carried out in the chloroplasts of plant cells using the green pigment chlorophyll.
This reaction can be summarised in the word equation: Carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen. Photosynthesis - Higher tier. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO 2 + 6H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2. Glucose from photosynthesis. Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Glucose made by the process of photosynthesis may be used in three ways: 1  It can be converted into chemicals required for growth of plant cells such as cellulose. 2  It can be converted into starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it.
