Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Plants absorb `CO_(2)` present in air and convert the same into glucose and starch in the presence of green colouring matter called chlorophyll present in the plant body and sunlight. The balanced chemical equation for the process is :
`{:(6CO_(2)(g) + 6H_(2)O (l) overset("(Chlorophyll)")underset("(Sunlight)")(to) C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)(s) + 6O_(2)(g)),(" ""(Glucose)"):}`
