1. Photosynthesis is the process in which green parts of the plants uses carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to produce starch as food and in this process oxygen gas is released as a byproduct.

2. The complete reaction of photosynthesis can be represented as

6 $C O_{2}$ + 6 $H_{2}$ O $\to$ $C_{6}$ $H_{12}$ $O_{6}$ + 6 $O_{2}$
Carbon dioxide + Water $\to$ Glucose + Oxygen
