Carbon dioxide + water —> (light energy) glucose + oxygen
6Co2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxidediffuses into leafs through stomata
Water is absorbed from roots
Oxygen is a by-product of respiration
Some glucose is used for respiration and some are transferred into starch for storage. These starch can also be transferred back into glucose for respiration
