- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. - The main reactants required for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide (CO₂), water (H₂O), and light energy. Chlorophyll is the pigment that captures light energy. - The general equation for photosynthesis is: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose) + 6O₂.
