Photosynthesis is an important process by which food is formed.
The plants make food using sunlight and water, which provides nourishment to other organisms and themselves.
Photosynthesis reaction is as follows :
6CO2 + 12H2O --------> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
(Carbon dioxide) + (Water) ---> (Glucose) + (Oxygen) + (Water)
The following events occur during this process of photosynthesis :
Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen
Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.
