Answer 2

$\mathfrak{Answer:}$

Photosynthesis:

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as:

$\tt{6CO_2+6H_2O \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6+6O_2}$

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.

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the energy-storage molecules ATP and NADPH. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.
