Solution

Sugar is made through photosynthesis by a chemical reaction within the plant’s cell. The chemical reaction that produces sugar is powered by the sun’s energy. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is absorbed by the plant through the stomata (small openings on the underside of the plants leaves) and water, H2O, which is absorbed through the root hairs are combined together in a chemical reaction, which produces glucose. The chemical formula for the process is as follows:
6CO2+6H2O+light energyC6H12O6+6O2
