The following events occur during this process:1. Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.2. Conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.3. Reduction of carbon dioxide to carbohydrates.$\underset{\text{carbon dioxide}}{6\,\mathrm{CO}_2} + 6\underset{\text{water}}{\mathrm{H}_2\mathrm{O}} \xrightarrow{\text{Photosynthesis}} \underset{\text{glucose}}{\mathrm{C}_6\mathrm{H}_{12}\mathrm{O}_6} + \underset{\text{oxygen}}{6\mathrm{O}_2}$
