Answer:
➲Process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
➲The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
➲This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
- Photosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Without photosynthesis, the carbon cycle could not occur, oxygen-requiring life would not survive and plants would die.
