Detailed Solution

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar (fuel) used by all living things. The photosynthesis equation is a chemical representation of the process of photosynthesis which takes place in the chloroplasts. Plants take in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose (carbohydrate) and oxygen. The following is the chemical equation, which explains this process:
