Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the mixture of light and the process of making
photosynthesis=making food through light

what is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into stored chemical energy in the form of glucose.

where does photosynthesis occur?

Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast.

Why are plants green?

The chloroplast absorbs light. The chloroplast also only absorbs other colors but reflects green.

the formula for photosynthesis

6CO2+6H2O =C6H12O6+6O2

Meanings for letters

CO means carbon dioxide, H2O means water, = means it being converted by light energy, C6H12O6 means glucose (sugar), O2 is gas

other numbers

The numbers in front of the symbols (6CO) states how many there are so in 6CO there are 6 carbon dioxide.

Plants

Photosynthesis only occurs in plants.
