Which letter represents where
photosynthesis is taking place?

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis is a process by which
plants, algae, and certain bacteria
convert light energy into chemical
energy.

WHY IS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
IMPORTANT?

These primary producers form the base
of an ecosystem and fuel the next
trophic levels. Without this process, life
on Earth as we know it would not be
possible.
