Photosynthesis captures energy for life on Earth. Many chemicals are made to allow life processes to occur in plants. These chemicals can move in and out of cells by the process of diffusion. Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants in which energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into molecules needed for growth. These molecules include sugars, enzymes and chlorophyll.

Light energy is absorbed by the green chemical chlorophyll. This energy allows the production of glucose by the reaction between carbon dioxide and water. Oxygen is also produced as a waste product.

This reaction can be summarised in the word equation:

Carbon dioxide + water glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis - Higher tier

The chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

6CO ₂ + 6H ₂O C ₆H ₁₂O ₆ + 6O ₂

Glucose from photosynthesis

Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms. Glucose made by the process of photosynthesis may be used in three ways:

1. It can be converted into chemicals required for growth of plant cells such as cellulose

2. It can be converted into starch, a storage molecule, that can be converted back to glucose when the plant requires it

3. It can be broken down during the process of respiration, releasing energy stored in the glucose molecules

Plants cells contain a number of structures that are involved in the process of photosynthesis:

Chloroplasts - containing chlorophyll and enzymes needed for reactions in photosynthesis.

Nucleus - containing DNA carrying the genetic code for enzymes and other proteins used in photosynthesis

Cell membrane - allowing gas and water to pass in and out of the cell while controlling the passage of other molecules

Vacuole - containing cell sap to keep the cell turgid

Cell wall - strengthens the cell

Cytoplasm - enzymes and other proteins used in photosynthesis made here

Photosynthesis is the process of taking sunlight in to create energy. Photosynthesis occurs primarily in plants. During photosynthesis, light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The glucose produced from photosynthesis is used to help the plant grow, and the oxygen released is crucial to the life of many other organisms, like humans. Photosynthesis is performed by autotrophs, which are organisms that can produce their own food through things found in their surroundings.
