Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities.

During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

It is often referred to plants.

We can refer it as a equation:

CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER > SUNLIGHT =

CHLOROPHYLL

SUGAR + OXYGEN

Importance :

It is essential to all plants and trees.

They can't survive without food. But they have to make their own food. So it is necessary for them to carry out the process. For few plants who have some deficiency of nitrogen, i . e., Pitcher plant, they trap insects or feeds on dead plants or animals.

\huge\mathfrak\green{Photosynthesis}

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

\huge\mathfrak\red{Equation}

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

\huge\mathfrak\purple{Components}

In photosynthesis, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are reactants. GA3P and water are products. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide are reactants. GA3P and oxygen are products.

\huge\mathfrak\orange{Steps}

It is convenient to divide the photosynthetic process in plants into four stages, each occurring in a defined area of the chloroplast: (1) absorption of light, (2) electron transport leading to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH, (3) generation of ATP, and (4) conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates (carbon fixation).

\huge\mathfrak\blue{Importance}

Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without photosynthesis, the carbon cycle could not occur, oxygen-requiring life would not survive and plants would die.
