Answer:
Photosynthesis is a phenomenon in which green plants such as algae, fungus etc containing chlorophyll use sunlight as a source of energy to convert carbon dioxide and water present in the atmosphere to form glucose which is used as plant food and oxygen which is liberated into the atmosphere for breathing.
The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
[tex]6CO_2+6H_2O\rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2[/tex]
where carbon dioxide and water are reactants and glucose and oxygen are products formed.
