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.
