Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a Process
Used by the Plants
To convert Sunlight energy  (Or other lights energy)
Into Chemical energy.
This Chemical Energy is stored in Sugars (Carbohydrate molecules = C6H12O6)
And is used for fuelling the Organisms activities.

In other words as per equation below
When Light falls on Carbondioxide molecules and Water molecules,
these molecules get synthesized into
Sugar & waste product called Oxygen.



FORMULA FOR UNDERSTANDING PHOTOSYNTHESIS
               
6 CO2 molecules + 6 H2O (Water molcules) = When Light falls =  Sugar + Oxygen (O2-Waste product)
