Chapter 44, Problem 6TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The procedure by which green plants and other organisms make food in the existence or presence of chlorophyll and sunlight is called photosynthesis. The process needs water and carbon dioxide. The oxygen gas release which comes from water in this process. This is important because all living organisms need oxygen gas to survive. A plant breathes carbon dioxide and breathes out oxygen which keeps humans and animals alive on earth. The major source of oxygen is plant.
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
