    Study Notes

    Photosynthesis Overview

    • Photosynthesis is a process that converts light energy into chemical energy.
    • Occurs within chloroplasts of plant cells.
    • Enzymes and chlorophyll accelerate the process.
    • ATP plays a role in absorbing light during photosynthesis.
    • Produces oxygen as a byproduct.
    • Creates food (glucose) for the plant.
    • Glucose and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis.
    • Uses sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce energy-rich organic molecules (sugar/glucose) and oxygen.

    Photosynthesis Details

    • Photosynthesis uses light energy to create chemical energy.
    • Water, carbon dioxide, and light energy combine to produce oxygen and glucose (sugar).
    • The chemical formula represents the process: Light energy + water + carbon dioxide → oxygen + sugar.
