Answer 1

Answer:

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
• To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

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.
• The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process. It's not particularly efficient by human engineering standards, but it does the job.
