Photosynthesis is the process by which plants synthesise food by utilizing the CO2 and sunlight and H2O and results in the formation of glucose/starch and give out O2 as byproduct.
Equation:
6CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + O2
There are two steps:
- Light reactions, which take place in the presence of light. Light reactions involve the formation of ATP, NADPH by converting solar energy into chemical energy. This involves splitting of water.
- Dark reactions, which depend on the products of light reaction. It involves the formation of glucose/carbohydrate molecules by utilizing the ATP formed.
