Answer the following question about the generalised photosynthesis equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O - - - > C6H12O6 + 6O2

Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight

In photosynthesis, a plant takes carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to make Oxygen (O2) and sugar (C6H12O6). Every chemical equation needs energy, this is the sunlight's job, and chlorophyll in the plants uses the light energy to turn 6 Carbon Dioxide molecules and 6 Water molecules into 1 molecule of sugar, and 6 molecules of oxygen gas.
