How Photosynthesis Works: Sunlight, Water, and CO₂ to Oxygen and Sugar #2173338 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram illustrates the core mechanism of photosynthesis in green plants, where sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in leaves, enabling the chemical reaction that combines carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and water (H₂O) from roots to produce oxygen (O₂) and glucose. Arrows indicate the flow of inputs and outputs, emphasizing the leaf’s role as the primary photosynthetic organ. The sun symbolizes the essential energy source driving this biochemical process.
