Key Components of Photosynthesis:

☀️ Energy – Sunlight provides the energy needed for the process.

🌬 Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) – Absorbed from the air through the leaves.

💧 Water (H₂O) – Taken in from the soil through the roots.

The Process:

🔹 Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves, where chlorophyll captures sunlight.

🔹 Carbon dioxide and water combine, using sunlight energy, to form glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆).

🔹 Oxygen (O₂) is released into the air as a byproduct.

Results:

✅ Glucose – Provides energy for plant growth.

✅ Oxygen – Essential for humans and animals to breathe.

This process is vital for plant survival and supports life on Earth! 🌱
