Solution

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of glucose.

Its balanced chemical equation is as follows:

$6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O Chlorophyll - ------ \to Sunlight C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
