Answer:
Photosynthesis
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a process by which photosynthetic organisms use the energy of captured sunlight to convert energy-poor molecules such as carbon (iv), CO₂ and water (H₂O) into energy-rich organic molecules sch as carbohydrates e.g. glucose.
Photosynthesis occurs in a variety of bacteria and algae as well in vascular plants. The overall equation for the reaction of photosynthesis is as follows:
CO₂ + H₂O + light-------> (CH₂O) + O₂
It is a redox reaction in which water donates electrons (as hydrogen) for the reduction of CO₂ to carbohydrate, (CH₂O).
Carbohydrates are energy-rich molecules which serves as energy sources for many living organisms.
