Answer:
Light energy + water + carbon dioxide →glucose + oxygen
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is done by the chloroplasts of the plant cells. What happens is that the inorganic molecules (molecules that do not contain both hydrogen and carbon atoms) is converted into organic (molecules that contain both hydrogen and carbon atoms). But there needs to be light/solar energy (from the Sun) in order for this to happen.
In this case, the water and carbon dioxide (which are inorganic molecules) are converted into glucose (a type of carbohydrate, or a simple sugar). Oxygen is just readily present in the environment.
The actual chemical formula for photosynthesis is:
6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2
The → signifies the light energy required for photosynthesis to occur
Light energy + water + carbon dioxide →glucose + oxygen

HEY MATE!!
■ Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
■ Conversion of light energy to chemical energy.
■ Splitting of water molecules.
■ Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.
HOPE IT HELPS YOU!!
