The Magic of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the primary source being carbon dioxide and water. It is a crucial process that makes life on Earth possible!
This magical transformation provides the delicious oxygen we breathe and forms the basis of the food chain. 🌱✨
Key Stages of Photosynthesis
- Light Absorption: Chlorophyll, the green pigment inside leaf cells, absorbs sunlight.
- Water Splitting: Water molecules are split into hydrogen and oxygen.
- Carbon Fixation: Carbon dioxide is converted into glucose.
Interesting Facts
