WATER -

sunlight has photons. photons are trapped by the chlorophyll of the leaves. they break the water molecules into hydrogen atom and oxygen atoms and an extra electron . this process is called photolysis. the hydrogen atom combines with NADP and changes it to NADPH. the oxygen atom combines with another oxygen atom and form oxygen molecule which is liberated out. the extra electron is converts ADP to ATP.

==============================

CO2-

it combines water to form glucose and energy.

Plants use sunlight with carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water to form carbohydrates which are stored energy. After this reaction Oxygen is released as bi-product. This process is called photosynthesis.
The equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H2O ---sunlight---> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
