WHAT IS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert
light energy into chemical energy. This vital process
sustains life on Earth by producing oxygen and organic
compounds. Understanding the elegance of
photosynthesis sheds light on the remarkable
adaptations of plants.
Photosynthesis is a plant's method of producing its own
food. It utilizes sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to craft
a special sugar known as glucose.
WHAT DO PLANTS NEED FOR
PHOTOSYNTHESIS?
SUNLIGHT
Sunlight serves as the primary source of
energy for plants.
WATER
Plants need water to mix with the
carbon dioxide and sunlight.
CHLOROPHYLL
Chlorophyll captures the sunlight and
helps turn it into food.
CARBON DIOXIDE
Plants require carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere.
HOW DOES
PHOTOSYNTHESIS WORK?
THE PROCESS
Chlorophyll absorbs the energy
from the sun, combining it with
carbon dioxide and water to
create oxygen. This process
transforms raw materials into
sugar or glucose. Glucose is food
for the plant. Another by-
product of photosynthesis is the
synthesis of oxygen.
THE PROCESS
THE EQUATION
Photosynthesis reaction involves two reactants,
carbon dioxide and water. These two reactants yield
two products, namely, oxygen and glucose. Hence,
the photosynthesis reaction is considered to be an
endothermic reaction. Following is the
photosynthesis formula:
6CO2 + 6H2O —> C6H12O6 + 6O2
WHY IS PHOTOSYNTHESIS
IMPORTANT?
IMPORTANCE OF
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis is important because it
produces oxygen. Oxygen is vital for all
living organisms to breathe. It also
serves as the foundation of the food
chain, as it provides the primary source
of energy for plants and, subsequently,
for herbivores and carnivores.
