    Photosynthesis is a fundamental biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and certain bacteria convert solar energy into chemical energy. Through this process, light energy is harnessed to synthesize glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) from carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O). The overall reaction can be expressed as follows: $$6CO_2+6H_2O+light energy→C_6H_12O_6+6O_2$$ Central to this process…
