The Magic of
Photosynthesis

1 Light Absorption
Chlorophyll in plant leaves captures sunlight energy,
initiating the photosynthesis process.

2 Water Breakdown
Light energy splits water molecules into hydrogen and
oxygen, releasing electrons.

3 Carbon Dioxide Conversion


The plant uses energy and electrons to convert CO2 into
glucose, its food source.

4 Oxygen Release
Oxygen, a byproduct of this process, is released into the
atmosphere, sustaining life on Earth.
