ok

lets see if I remember

6CO2 + 6 H2O ----> C6H1206 glucose + some O2

he MG+ inthe chlorophyl molecule is the business end of it

then trees stick the glose together to make cellulose (wood mostly)

CO2 + H2O + sunlight -> o2 + c6h12o6
   When a chlorophyl pigment absorbs the sun light , a photon will make contact with the pigments reaction center causing electrons to go through a serious of electrons acceptor. the electron will eventually be accepted by photosystem II, and when it does H2O will split and O2 will be released or "exhaled " by the plant.
    the chemical products is then sent to the calvin cycle to create  glucose
