What is photosynthesis write its chemical equation

Solution:

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants synthesize their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.
Steps involved are:-
1. The process occurs in the chloroplast present in the green parts of the plant. As chloroplasts have a green pigment called chlorophyll. This pigment captures the sun’s light  energy and converts it into chemical energy.
2. 
As a result of this process, carbohydrate is formed and oxygen is released.
3. Carbohydrates provide plants, the energy to carry out metabolic work.

The net reaction of photosynthesis is shown below
