The word photosynthesis can be separated to make two smaller words:
“photo” which means light
“synthesis” which means putting together
Plants need food but they do not have to wait on people or animals to provide for them. Most plants are able to make their own food whenever they need it. This is done using light and the process is called photosynthesis.
The complete and combined reaction is
6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6+ 6O2

All green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight , chlorophyll is known as photosynthesis .
Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.
The overall balanced equation is...
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight energy
Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
Light energy is required
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = oxygen
