The process of photosynthesis involves the production of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. Oxygen is also produced in the process. The chemical reaction is as follows:

$6 C O_{2} + 6 H_{2} O C h l o r o p h y l l, S u n l i g h t - ------------ \to C_{6} H_{12} O_{6} + 6 O_{2}$
