Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use chlorophyll and Chloroplast to trap the energy in solar radiation and use the energy to turn Carbon Dioxide and Water into organic Carbohydrates that can be used for chemical energy.

The equation of Photosynthesis is

# 6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O = 1 C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2#

This means that Carbon dioxide and water is changed to glucose sugar ( an organic energy molecule) and Oxygen.

Glucose sugar is a source of stored chemical energy that is produced by photosynthesis.
