EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process of utilizing and converting light or solar energy into chemical energy. Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll of leaves. Here, light energy is converted into chemical energy and is stored as ATP molecules. This energy is used by plants for the life processes.

Detailed explanation-2: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. In cellular respiration, oxygen is used to break down glucose, releasing chemical energy and heat in the process.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the most fundamentally important energy-converting process on Earth. It converts solar energy to chemical energy and provides all the food we eat, the fossil fuels we consume and the oxygen we breathe.
