Answer:

First of all, photosynthesis starts with the leaf taking in the carbon dioxide (
CO^(2)) through a place called stoma which is usually find under of a leaf and absorbs water (H2O) from the roots and up to the stem and to the leaf.

Then in the chlorophyll (plant cells and stored in chloroplast, also making the leaf green colored) which is the place storing the energy of the sunlight which is also the energy to do photosynthesis.

Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning that it lost electrons while the carbon dioxide is reduced meaning it gain electron. It transform water into oxygen and carbon dioxide to gluecose.

Lastly, plants release the oxygen through the stoma again.

Here's the word equation: Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen + Water.

Here's the symbol equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
