Answer 1

1. Photosynthesis is a chemical process in which green plants prepare their food with the help of sunlight, chlorophyll, and carbon dioxide. It then forms glucose along with oxygen as the by-product.
2. The chemical reaction for the same is given below:

$\underset{\mathrm{Carbon}\mathrm{dioxide}}{6{\mathrm{CO}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Water}}{6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}\stackrel{\mathrm{Sunlight}}{\to }\underset{\mathrm{Glucose}}{{\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6\left(\mathrm{l}\right)}+\underset{\mathrm{Oxygen}}{6{\mathrm{O}}_2\left(\mathrm{g}\right)}$
