How Photosynthesis Works: Sunlight, Water, and CO₂ Create Oxygen and Energy #2173170 (License: Personal Use)

This educational diagram depicts the core process of photosynthesis in a sunflower: sunlight energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in leaves, carbon dioxide enters through stomata, and water is drawn up via roots. These inputs fuel chemical reactions that generate oxygen (released into the air) and glucose (used for plant growth and energy). The illustration highlights each component with labeled arrows and a cross-section of soil and atmosphere.

Used in biology education, science websites, and classroom materials to explain foundational plant physiology; matches user intent for learning or teaching photosynthesis basics.
