Starting with carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), photosynthesis converts the energy of sunlight into chemical energy in the form of simple sugars (e.g., glucose ), with the release of molecular oxygen .

Photosynthesis is described by this statement: carbon dioxide and water are turned into sugar and oxygen.
