(c) $6 C O_{2} + 12 H_{2} O + C h l o r o p h y l l + S u n l i g h t \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O$
Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and certain other organisms convert light energy into chemical energy, which is later used to fuel cellular activities. It is the process of producing food in the form of glucose using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This glucose is transported to the different regions of the plant.
