Expert Solution
Step 1
Photosynthesis is the process in which the green plants, capture the light energy from the sunlight, obtain the water from the soil and carbondioxide from the air and produces glucose and oxygen in order to prepare its own food.
The oxygen produced is released to the atmosphere and is utilized by the animals. The glucose is stored in the form of starch and is utilized when needed.
Here is the equation of photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O66 + 6O2
