Introduction to Photosynthesis |
I. Key Concepts
-
Definition of Photosynthesis
-
Chlorophyll and its role in capturing sunlight

III. Examples
An example of photosynthesis is the process by which plants like sunflowers convert water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen.
IV. Summary
Photosynthesis is a critical process conducted by plants, algae, and some bacteria, allowing them to produce energy in the form of glucose. It involves capturing sunlight using chlorophyll and converting water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen through two key stages: light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
V. Questions or Clarifications
-
How do different wavelengths of light affect the rate of photosynthesis?
-
What is the significance of the Calvin cycle in the process?
