Photosynthesis lets plants convert sunlight into energy.

The process takes place in plant leaves, using chlorophyll.

Sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are needed for the reaction.

Plants produce glucose (food) and oxygen as byproducts.

Photosynthesis powers the food chain by creating plant energy.

It helps maintain Earth’s oxygen levels for breathing organisms.

Occurs in two stages: light and dark reactions.

The process happens during the day when light is available.

Photosynthesis supports life by feeding herbivores and oxygenating the air.

Without it, life on Earth would not survive.
