Solution

Plants are living things that need raw materials to survive, and make food. Apart from $C O_{2}$ and water which are the most important raw materials required by the plant, others are:
• Minerals (soil) are essential for plant development.
• Oxygen is required for the survival of the plant.
• Chlorophyll is the green pigment that traps solar energy to perform photosynthesis.
• Sunlight offers solar energy that is used to initiate the process of photosynthesis.
$C O_{2} + H_{2} O ⟶ C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + O_{2}$
