How Photosynthesis Works: Sunlight, Water, and Carbon Dioxide → Oxygen #3453208 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram shows a smiling sunflower using light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water absorbed through its roots to perform photosynthesis. The process produces oxygen as a byproduct, released through the leaves, and glucose for plant growth. Arrows clearly indicate the flow of each component in this vital biological reaction.

Used in K-12 science curricula, biology textbooks, and environmental education websites to explain basic plant physiology; matches user intent for visual learning about photosynthesis fundamentals.
