🌿 Photosynthesis
Learn how plants make food from sunlight, water, and CO2 with a visual process
🌟 The Photosynthesis Equation
6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Sunlight → Sugar (Glucose) + Oxygen
☀
Sunlight
Captured by chlorophyll in the leaves
💧
Water (H₂O)
Absorbed through roots, carried up the stem
💨
Carbon Dioxide
Absorbed through tiny pores called stomata
🍬
Glucose (Sugar)
Food energy stored in the plant
💨
Oxygen (O₂)
Released into the air — the oxygen WE breathe!
