PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis is a process by which
plants, algae, and certain bacteria
convert light energy into chemical
energy.

Multiple Choice

What is photosynthesis?

• Photosynthesis is the process of respiration in animals.
• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy.
• Photosynthesis occurs only in the dark.
• Photosynthesis is the method by which animals digest food.

WHY IS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
IMPORTANT?

These primary producers form the base
of an ecosystem and fuel the next
trophic levels. Without this process, life
on Earth as we know it would not be
possible.
