photsynthesis and cellular respiration

Front

What is photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy in the form of glucose, using carbon dioxide and water.

What happens to life on Earth if photosynthesis stops?

Back

If photosynthesis stops, life on Earth would end because plants would not produce oxygen or glucose, which are vital for most organisms.
