What is the reaction for photosynthesis?

The actual reaction of photosynthesis is quite complicated and takes place in several sub steps.

However for higher level GCSE biology you will need to learn just one shorthand and simple equation.

Thus the chemical equation for photosynthesis that you need to learn at this level is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O + energy --> C6H12O6 + 6O2

This is the equation for the production of the specific sugar, glucose.
