What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants to grow, make C6H12O6(glucose),and create
O2(Oxygen). There are only 3 things required for a plant to start the process of Photosynthesis: CO2(Carbon Dioxide), H2O(water), and sunlight. As you can see in this picture, the plant seems to be very small, but it will go through photosynthesis to become bigger.
what happens in photosynthesis.
the three things required for Photosynthesis (left) all go into the leaves of a plant.
Here is an equation of photosynthesis:
6CO2, 6H2O = C6H6O6, 6O2
What happens next.
Next, all the Oxygen gets separated from the previous molecules they were in, pair up with each other becoming O2, then get rejected out of the leaf. while the rest of the elements, form up in the Chloroplast (above) to create the organic sugar known as Glucose.
And that is how Photosynthesis works
