Answer:

Solar energy is required in the process known as photosynthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process whereby solar energy is utilised as chemical energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose alongside oxygen which is a byproduct of the reaction.

6CO2 (g)+ 6H2O(l) → C6H12O6(s) + O2(g)
