Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food using sunlight, carbon
dioxide, and water. It takes place mainly in the leaves of plants which contain a green pigment
called chlorophyll. The equation of photosynthesis is: 6CO2 + 6H2O + sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Importance of Photosynthesis: - Provides food for plants and other organisms. - Releases oxygen
necessary for life. - Maintains balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
