    The Basics of Photosynthesis

    An Overview of the Fundamental Biological Process


    Presented by: Your Name
    Introduction
    Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into

    chemical energy in the form of glucose. This process is essential for life on Earth, providing the primary energy source for

    nearly all living organisms.


    Objectives
    - Understand the definition and importance of photosynthesis.

    - Identify the main components and stages of the process.

    - Recognize the role of chlorophyll.

    - Familiarize with the chemical equation of photosynthesis.


    Main Concepts
    Photosynthesis occurs in two main stages:

    1. Light-dependent Reactions:

    - Takes place in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplasts.

    - Sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, converting energy into ATP and NADPH.

    2. Light-independent Reactions (Calvin Cycle):

    - Takes place in the stroma of the chloroplasts.

    - Uses ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 into glucose (C6H12O6).


    The Chemical Equation
    The overall chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

    6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2

    This equation summarizes how carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight, are converted into glucose and oxygen.
    Summary
    Photosynthesis is a vital biological process that allows plants to produce food and oxygen using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and

    water. It is the foundation of life on Earth, supporting plant growth and providing energy for other living organisms.
