The above reaction shows photosynthesis .

Explanation:

#6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O +# sunlight & chlorophyll #rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2# Here,

#C_6H_12O_6# is Glucose. This is the basic energy source for plants. And Plants release #O_2# (oxygen) when the complex process of
photosynthesis ends.

Photosynthesis is a complex multi step process in which green plants and some bacteria (basically AUTOTROPHS) use the light energy to make food (Here Glucose in plants) along with the release of oxygen.
