🌱Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a vital process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water. Oxygen is released as a byproduct. The process can be summarized by the following equation:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + Light Energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

This process is essential for life on Earth, as it provides the oxygen we breathe and the food we eat.
