Study Notes
Inputs of Photosynthesis
- Solar Energy: Absorbed by chlorophyll in plant leaves, vital for converting light to chemical energy.
- Carbon Dioxide: Enters leaf through stomata, sourced from the atmosphere and is essential for glucose production.
- Water: Absorbed by roots and transported through xylem to leaves, necessary for photosynthetic processes.
Outputs of Photosynthesis
- Glucose: The primary energy source for plants' growth and development, produced as a product of photosynthesis.
- Oxygen: Byproduct of photosynthesis, released through stomata and essential for respiration in plants and animals.
