- In green plants and other creatures, photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy.
- During photosynthesis, green plants gather and use light energy to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules.
- 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 is the formula for photosynthesis.
- The reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are changed into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules in this way.
- Chlorophyll collects light energy and converts it into products (implied by the arrow).
