Solution

The process by which plants make their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of plants. This pigment captures the sun’s energy, which is used to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water. The equation for photosynthesis is
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
