Answer: The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

Step-by-step explanation: This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
