Front

What role does sunlight play in photosynthesis?

Back

It provides the energy needed to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Front

What is the function of water in photosynthesis?

Back

Water provides electrons and protons for the light-dependent reactions and is a reactant in the overall process.
