Study Notes
- Photosynthesis is the process where light energy, captured by chlorophyll, transforms carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
Word Equation for Photosynthesis
- Carbon dioxide plus water, in the presence of light and chlorophyll, yields glucose and oxygen.
Symbol Equation for Photosynthesis
- 6CO2 + 6H2O, with light and chlorophyll, produces C6H12O6 + 6O2.
