Photosynthesis. The reaction where CO2 enters the leaves through diffusion and is released as O2.

Diffusion - The movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration - From the air (area of high concentration) to inside the leaf (area of low concentration).

In photosynthesis, the chlorophyll (green substances inside the leaf cells) convert the CO2 along with water taken up the roots to create oxygen and glucose. The glucose is used by the plant to produce fruits and to take up water by the roots. The oxygen diffuses out of the leaves as there is a higher concentration of oxygen inside leaf then there is outside the leaf.

The word equation for photosynthesis is:

Carbon Dioxide + Water --> Oxygen + Glucose

The symbol equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO2 + 6H2O --> 6O2 + C6H12O6
