Yes it is a chemical reaction, aka chemical change. Carbon dioxide and water are combined with light energy to form glucose( a type of sugar ) and oxygen. You end up with different substances than you begin with, therefore it's a chemical change

Yes because in the process co2 and water are completely transformed to a chemically new compound, glucose C6H12O6

YES it is a chemical process as the carbon -di-oxide, and water change itself to glucose and water through a series of reactions

it is a chemical change, where the plant recieves energy from sunlight to make it's own food,this chemically changes the structure of the plant , anything that changes the structure is a chemical change, physical chnges occur when a substance is changed from a particular state of matter to another stae of matter
~hope this helps~ :P

It's one of the most complex chemical changes there is. you take CO2 and Water (H2O) and turn them into sugar (C6H12O6). So the products have totally different chemical properties as the reagents. That's the deffinition of chemical change (isn't it? i don't remember school so hot)

Yes,is photosyntesis is a chemical reaction.It equation is 6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) >>> C6H12O6 + 6O2........

Oh yes. It is a serious of redox reactions. And it is also an ender/endothermic reaction (i.e. requires cell energy to build glucose)

6CO2 + 6H2O (+ light energy) >>> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Definitely Yes.
