6 CO_2 + 6 H_2O + sunlight & chlorophyll rarr C_6H_12O_6 + 6 O_2 Here,

C_6H_12O_6 is Glucose. This is the basic energy source for plants. And Plants release O_2 (oxygen) when the complex process of

**Photosynthesis is a complex multi step process in which green plants and some bacteria (basically AUTOTROPHS) use the light energy to make food (Here Glucose in plants) along with the release of oxygen. **
