Canada's racism problem? It's even worse than America's.

Introduction to Photosynthesis

• Definition: Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy.

• Importance: It is essential for life on earth as it provides food and oxygen.

Key Components of Photosynthesis

• Chloroplasts: Organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.

• Chlorophyll: The green pigment in plants that absorbs light energy.

• Light: The energy source required for the transformation.

• Water & Carbon Dioxide: The raw materials needed for the process.

Photosynthesis Equation

• Overall reaction:

  • 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

• Meaning: Carbon dioxide and water, when combined with light energy, produce glucose (sugar) and oxygen.
