Solution

Photosynthesis:

  1. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food with the help of water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
  2. During the process of photosynthesis, leaves give out oxygen that supports different life forms on the earth.
  3. The overall chemical equation of photosynthesis is:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
(carbon dioxide) (water) (glucose) (oxygen)

Final answer: The raw materials needed during photosynthesis are water and carbon dioxide.
