To remember photosynthesis makes Glucose

6CO₂ + Energy + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Photosynthesis makes glucose and oxygen.

(Energy from light is required.)

After the photographer photos this cow (photosynthesis) she collects the poo to make glue (yes, really). The photographer makes glue (glucose).

NOTE

In the daytime plant cells receive sunlight into their chloroplasts; water via their roots; and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in order to produce glucose and oxygen.

To remember photosynthesis makes glucose:

CO₂ + Energy (light energy) + H₂0  →  Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) + O₂
