How Photosynthesis Works: Plant Energy Conversion Process #2173159 (License: Personal Use)

This educational illustration depicts the core mechanism of photosynthesis: chlorophyll in plant leaves absorbs light energy from the sun, which drives the chemical reaction combining carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil to produce glucose and oxygen. Arrows indicate the flow of materials-CO₂ enters through stomata, water travels via roots and xylem, and O₂ is released as a byproduct. The diagram emphasizes the plant’s role as a primary producer in ecosystems.

Used in biology education, environmental science articles, and K-12 curriculum resources to explain foundational plant physiology; matches user intent seeking visual understanding of photosynthesis for study or teaching.
