What is the balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis?: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$
What substance does $C_6H_{12}O_6$ stand for in the photosynthesis equation?: Glucose.
In terms of energy, what type of reaction is photosynthesis?: Endothermic — energy is transferred from the environment to the chloroplasts by light.
Which pigment absorbs the light used in photosynthesis, and in which structure is it found?: Chlorophyll, found in the chloroplasts.
