Photosynthesis is a process where light energy is changed into chemical energy. As we said in the last section, this process happens in the chloroplast of plant cells. Photosynthesis is one of the most important things that happen in cells.
In fact, photosynthesis is considered one of the most important processes for all life on Earth. It makes sense that photosynthesis is really important to plants, since it gives them energy, but why is it so important to animals? Let’s learn a little more about photosynthesis and see if we can answer that question.
There are many steps to photosynthesis, but if we wanted to sum it up in one equation, it would be carbon dioxide (CO2) + water (H2O) makes glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). These words can be written like this:
