Sunlight provides energy for photosynthesis, allowing plants to create food.
A process that converts light energy, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
They capture light energy and facilitate the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into sugars.
They allow the exchange of gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen.
Palisade cells are tightly packed for light absorption, while spongy cells have spaces for gas exchange.
Glucose is broken down into smaller molecules, producing some ATP.
Carbon dioxide, water, and ATP are produced from glucose and oxygen.
Photosynthesis produces glucose and oxygen, which are used in cellular respiration to release energy.
Chlorophyll absorbs light energy, primarily reflecting green light.
They help reduce atmospheric CO2 and contribute to carbon storage in ecosystems.
