6co2+6h2o <---> c6h12o6+6o2

Left side:

6 CO2 = 6 carbon + 12 oxygen
6 H2O = 12 hydrogen + 6 oxygen

Right side:

C6H12O6 = 6 carbon + 12 hydrogen + 6 oxygen
6O2 = 12 oxygen

Nicely balanced equation for glucose metabolism!

count them. the number in front of the molecule is how many molecules there are and the number behind the letters is how many atoms are in it. its not hard just try using common sense
