Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food, primarily occurring in chloroplasts. The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2, producing glucose and oxygen. This process is vital for life on Earth as it generates the oxygen necessary for respiration.

Class Notes: Photosynthesis

Definition
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight to synthesize
food from carbon dioxide and water. It occurs mainly in the chloroplasts of plant
cells.

Equation
6CO■ + 6H■O → C■H■■O■ + 6O■

Key Points
• Requires sunlight, chlorophyll, CO■, and water

• Produces glucose and oxygen

• Occurs in the chloroplasts

Note: Photosynthesis is essential for life on Earth as it provides the oxygen we


breathe.
