Photosynthesis Process Explained - How Plants Make Food Using Sunlight #3453213 (License: Personal Use)

This illustrated diagram shows the complete photosynthetic process in a sunflower: sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in chloroplasts, while roots draw up water and minerals from the soil; carbon dioxide enters through leaf stomata. Inside the chloroplasts, these components react to produce glucose (sugar) for energy and release oxygen as a byproduct. Arrows indicate flow and transformation of molecules throughout the plant.
