Answer:

C6H12O6 + 6O2

Step-by-step explanation:

The product is what the plant releases after photosynthesis. The chemical formula for glucose and oxygen is C6H12O6 + 6O2.

I'll say this in both ways.

Photosynthesis takes the combination of carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O) and light energy, exclusively from the sun. This produces glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (6O2.) This is a balanced synthesis.

The equation would be 6CO2 + 6H2O + Light = C6H12O6 + 6O2.
