Therefore, Photosynthesis is an Oxidation-Reduction reaction which takes place in two steps; light reaction and dark reaction. With the help of Question and Answers we have tried to cover the whole process and also we come to know how light energy is converted into chemical energy.
It can be explained via equation also:
6Co2 + 12 H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
