Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.

THE PROCESS OF USING ENERGY IN LIGHT TO CONVERT WATER AND CARBON DIOXIDE INTO CARBOHYDRATE (STARCH) AND OXYGEN IS CALLED PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.
Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.
The overall balanced equation is...
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight energy
Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
Light energy is required
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = oxygen

Photosynthesis takes place in plants with the help of chlorophyll,sunlight,water etc.The method is-The chlorophyll captures sunlight and the leaves then use the sunlight passed by chlorophyll and water sent by root after absorbing from soil through the stem.The leaves take in CO2[CARBON DIOXIDE]- a waste gas in breathed out in the process of human respiration through stomata[air holes in leaves for exchange of gases].Then they start making their food.
Respiration in plants is done through stomata.It takes in CO2,exchanging with Oxygen which we humans breathe.

Photosynthesis is a naturally occurring process which takes place the the body of plants and some bacteria ,these organisms prepare there own food by using raw material like sunlight , water and co2
H2O + co2 in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll gives oxygen and glucose
H2O + co2 in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll gives oxygen and glucose
