How does photosynthesis work?

How does the general equation for photosynthesis work? How is it balanced?

• HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

• Answer:

  6CO2 + 6H2O ----> C6H12O6 + 6O Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts. Red and Blue light waves are absorbed. Then you have two stages: Light and Dark (Calvin Cycle) reactions. During the light rxn, the light absorbed by chloroplasts is converted into energy (ATP). the water (taken in through the roots) is broken down into hydrogen and oxygen. Now for the Dark rxn. The ATP and carbon dioxide are used to create the glucose. And I'm forgetting something. The CO2 comes from the Krebs cycle, cellular respiration, the stomata takes in the CO2 and expels the 6 molecules of oxygen (waste product of photosynthesis). I think that's basically it. Not sure if that's what you were asking....
