It is a
process in which the green chlorophyll-containing cells of
the plants synthesize the carbohydrates from CO2
and water in the presence of sunlight.
Equation
for the photosynthesis can be written as:
(Sunlight)
6CO2 + 12H2 O → C6
H12 O6 + 6H2 O + 6O2
(Chlorophyll)
The
products of photosynthesis make the structure of plants.
Some of
the products are stored as a food for plant.
It is
accompanied by the evolution of oxygen as a by-product.
