Can anyone explain the process of photosynthesis in detail? (Answer gotta be long. Sorry! Also I am in middle school. Means I don’t know which subject this is so I picked chemistry.)

Sure, In order to grow and survive, plants need to perform photosynthesis. So the plant intakes Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sunlight and Water (H2O), which goes into the chloroplasts. Once inside the Chloroplasts, the Reactants are turned into the products Glucose (C6H12O6) and Oxygen (O2). The glucose is then used as food/fuel for the plant, and the oxygen is to be breathed by humans or other animals.
