Summary Introduction

To explain: The concept behind the use of oxygen isotope that helped to find the chemistry of photosynthesis.

Introduction:

During the process of photosynthesis, the energy from light is changed into the form of sugars, which can then be used as a source of chemical energy. The production of glucose molecules (or other sugars) from water and carbon dioxide results in the release of oxygen as a byproduct of a chemical reaction that is driven by the energy of visible light. Both energy and fixed organic carbon are provided to organisms by the glucose molecules. These are two essential resources.
