Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, a type of organic compound.
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide (
) from the atmosphere is absorbed by plants and used as a carbon source.
The carbon dioxide is combined with water (
) in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose (
) and oxygen (
).
This process effectively converts inorganic carbon dioxide into organic compounds, which are used by the plant for growth and energy storage.
Photosynthesis plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle by reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and providing organic compounds that serve as the foundation for the food chain.
