The Role of Photosynthesis in Plant Life

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants, algae, and certain bacteria to convert light energy into chemical energy. This process is crucial for the survival of life on Earth as it provides the primary source of energy for nearly all organisms. During photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and water (H2O) from the soil. In the presence of sunlight, these substances are transformed into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The glucose produced is used by plants for growth and energy, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere as a byproduct.
