Write the chemical equation for phitosynthesis
Solution:
The process by which plants make their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of plants. This pigment captures the sun’s energy, which is used to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water. The equation for photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
