Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun! The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.
Detailed explanation-2: -A simple word equation that can be used to describe the process of photosynthesis is carbon dioxide + water-> glucose + oxygen + water. A balanced chemical equation for the process can be written as 6CO2 + 6H2O-> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
