Carbon Dioxide ( $CO_2$ )+Water( $H_2O$ ) $rarr$ Glucose( $C_6H_12O_2$ )+Oxygen( $O_2$ ) (equation to represent generation of food source energy through sunlight)

Explanation:

Plant fixes $CO_2$ using sunlight to sugar using following reaction:

$CO_2$ + $H_2O$ $rarr$ $C_6H_12O_2$ + $O_2$

In terms of respiration plant produces energy in the following equation:

$C_6H_12O_2$ + $O_2$ $rarr$ $CO_2$ + $H_2O$

If no oxygen is present, then the equation would change to: Glucose( $C_6H_12O_2$ )-> Ethanol( $C_2H_5OH$ )+Energy(2ATP molecules)+Carbon Dioxide(#CO_2)

as the plant would undergo Anaerobic respiration.
