Revise: Photosynthesis – limiting factorsProcess of photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use light energy to make their own food. Chlorophyll in the plant cells traps light energy, then carries out a series of reactions.
Plants carry out photosynthesis to make their food. Oxygen is produced and released as a by-product of photosynthesis. Light energy from the sun is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyllThe green chemical inside the chloroplasts of plant cells. It enables photosynthesis to take place. and used to make sugars, which store chemical energy.
