Answer: C6H12O6 + 6O2 -> 6CO2 + 6H2O. Yields 2755 kJ/mole of glucose. The reverse of this reaction – combing carbon dioxide and water to make sugar – is known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process responsible for storing all the energy we extract from fossil fuels, crops, and all of our food.
