changes the glucose into energy. Photosynthesis starts in the plants green leaves, which contain chlorophyll that absorbs sunlight. The plant absorbs water from its roots. During this process of photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen. Plants help balance the supply of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere. Luckily for us air breathers plants make ten times more oxygen than how much they use at night. According to the article, Food From The Sun, "The photosynthesis equation is:
Carbon dioxide + Water -> ( Sunlight + Chlorophyll ) Glucose + Oxygen" Another reason why it is important is that because it grows food for organisms that are omnivores and herbivores.
Food is produced because photosynthesis helps grow food and plants. Plants are what make up most of your environment. Plants even make some of our Ancona and candy, like gum. Plants also help feed people and back in the old days instead of hunting and gathering they started farming and planting. With farming and planting populations increased and they had more time to create the world we are in today. Photosynthesis is the most important process for life. If it wasn't for photosynthesis all life on earth would be void. Through photosynthesis, the sun's energy is available to all organisms. For example, when an animal ears the plant, it obtains energy that the plant from photosynthesis. When a second animal eats the plant-eating animal, it. Gets some of the energy that the first animal obtained by eating the plant. Us humans get energy from eating plants and animals. So the main source of our energy is
photosynthesis. However, even though photosynthesis helps plants and Earth in some ways it also kills the plant. Light intensity is what controls how much photosynthesis is being made. So in the case of a plant, a high intensity means more pitons are hitting the leaves. As you go up from low light intensity to higher light intensity, the rate of photosynthesis will increase. However if the light intensity is too high, the rate won't increase because the other two ingredients become limiting and photosynthesis can no longer increase. At a very high intensity of light, the rate of photosynthesis starts to drop quickly as the light begins to damage the plant. Sometimes this can lead to death of the plant. If you ever see a leaf with dry brown sections that means the leaf has experienced sunburn. Even with the plant dying, most negatives also have a positive side to it. These dead plants will benefit us humans. These dead remains will sink into Earth's crust. Over long periods of time hear and pressure causes the remains to turn to something very useful to us currently today. Coal and petroleum are composed of the remains of many kinds of organisms. These organisms constrained energy from sun rays captured by photosynthesis millions of years ago. In conclusion, photosynthesis is needed in this world for Earth to thrive. Photosynthesis helps grow food and produce oxygen. Even if it kills the plant there was another good outcome too. Photosynthesis is important because it's one of the main sources for life on Earth to survive.
