Photosynthesis

Learn about the process of photosynthesis in plants, including the conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into energy, oxygen, and glucose. Discover the role of chloroplasts, the Calvin cycle, and the benefits of photosynthesis in food production, oxygen generation, and carbon dioxide reduction.

  11. Plants Store Energy • Wheat from Egyptian tombs still has energy stored from photosynthesis after thousands of years. • Fossil fuels such as coal store energy that was originally produced by photosynthesis millions of years ago

  12. Benefits of Photosynthesis • Produce food • Produce oxygen • Remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere • Inhibit global warming
