In bacteria, plants, and other eukaryotic species, photosynthesis is a biochemical process that is important for energy production; here, chemical energy is produced in the form of glucose molecules from:
Water
Carbon dioxide
Light energy
During photosynthesis, inorganic carbon is fixed by plants into high-energy carbohydrates and oxygen as a waste product...
6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6 O2
<em>Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light Glucose + Oxygen</em>
