  • Photosynthesis Equation: Identifying the Non-Product
    The general photosynthesis equation is:

    6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

    This means:

    * 6 molecules of carbon dioxide (CO₂) + 6 molecules of water (H₂O)

    * produce 1 molecule of glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) + 6 molecules of oxygen (O₂)

    So, the product that is not part of the general photosynthesis equation is water (H₂O).

    Water is a reactant in photosynthesis, meaning it is used up in the process.
