Photosynthesis is the reaction by which plants produce complex food molecules

Answer 1

such as glucose using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. In this process, plants capture energy from sunlight through chlorophyll in their leaves and convert it into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose. The equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2

During photosynthesis, plants also release oxygen as a byproduct, which is essential for the survival of other organisms. Photosynthesis is essential for the functioning of ecosystems as it forms the basis of the food chain, providing energy for all organisms, directly or indirectly.
