    • Definition of  photosynthesis?
      • Putting together with light.
    • What is it?
      • Plant's make their own food through the process of photosynthesis
    • Overview of the process
      • Stage 3 - The plant uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into food
      • Stage 1- Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plants
      • Stage  2- leaves obtain carbon dioxide from air and water
      • Stage 4 -Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplast which contains chlorophyll ( a green pigment that absorbs sunlight
      • Stage 5 - Photosyn/ produces glucose and oxygen ( Oxygen is a waste product.
    • Balanced symbol equation for photosynthesis
      • Carbon dioxide + water --------> glucose + oxygen
      • 6CO(2)+ 6H(2)O ------> C(6)H(12)O(6)+ 6O(2)
