State the chemical equation for photosynthesis and identify the site where it occurs in plant cells.

(N/A) The process of photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll.
The balanced chemical equation for photosynthesis is:
$6\text{CO}_{2} + 6\text{H}_{2}\text{O} \xrightarrow[\text{Chlorophyll}]{\text{Sunlight}} \text{C}_{6}\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_{6} + 6\text{O}_{2}$
In this reaction, carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose (a carbohydrate) and oxygen in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
