During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by ...
Be careful not to confuse this photosynthesis equation with respiration which is the reverse of this. The balanced symbol equation shown above is Higher tier only.
The sugar produced by photosynthesis can be converted into the sugar glucose. Thousands of glucose molecules can be linked together to form the complex carbohydrate cellulose. Cellulose is a very ...
