photosynthesis word equation

carbon dioxide + water → glucose + oxygen

photosynthesis equation

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

is photosynthesis endo or exo reaction

endo because it takes in energy (light)

five ways glucose produced in photosynthesis could be used

• make celulose for cell walls

• respiration

• make starch for energy backup

• fat and oil in seeds

• make amino acids, combined with nitrate ions to make proteins
