Photosynthesis is one of the most important biological processes on Earth. It's how plants create their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. This amazing process not only feeds plants but also produces the oxygen we breathe and forms the foundation of almost all food chains on our planet.
đŦ Key Concepts
Plants make their own food from simple ingredients
Sunlight provides the energy for photosynthesis
Chloroplasts are the food factories in plant cells
Oxygen is produced as a beneficial byproduct
Incredible Fact!
Plants produce approximately 330 billion tons of food annually through photosynthesis - enough to feed all life on Earth!
đ¯ Learning Objectives
