Here's how it works:\n\n1. **Light Absorption**: Plants capture sunlight using chlorophyll in their leaves\n\n2. **Water and CO2**: They take in water through roots and carbon dioxide through leaf pores\n\n3. **Chemical Reaction**: Using sunlight's energy, they convert H2O and CO2 into glucose and oxygen:\n 6CO2 + 6H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2\n\nThis process produces food for the plant and releases oxygen as a byproduct."
