Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
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.
