  "answer_markdown": "Photosynthesis is how plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose, storing light energy as chemical energy and releasing oxygen. In plants, chlorophyll captures light; light-dependent reactions make energy-carrying molecules and split water, then the Calvin cycle uses that energy to build sugars from carbon dioxide.[1][2][3]\n\nOverall: \\(6\\text{CO}_2 + 6\\text{H}_2\\text{O} + \\text{light} \\rightarrow \\text{C}_6\\text{H}_{12}\\text{O}_6 + 6\\text{O}_2\\).[4]",
