Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -A photon of light energy travels until it reaches a molecule of chlorophyll. The photon causes an electron in the chlorophyll to become “excited.” The energy given to the electron allows it to break free from an atom of the chlorophyll molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -During the light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is used by the chloroplast to create energy molecules: ATP and NADPH. These energy molecules power the Calvin cycle, which creates carbohydrates (G3P) from CO2.
Detailed explanation-4: -When you eat carbs, your body breaks them down into simple sugars, which are absorbed into the bloodstream. As the sugar level rises in your body, the pancreas releases a hormone called insulin. Insulin is needed to move sugar from the blood into the cells, where the sugar can be used as a source of energy.
