The process depicted is photosynthesis, where carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) are converted into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) using sunlight. This process is crucial for living organisms as it provides the primary energy source (glucose) for autotrophs and oxygen for respiration, supporting life on Earth. By converting solar energy into chemical energy, photosynthesis also plays a key role in regulating atmospheric CO₂ levels.
