- photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction
- during photosyntheis energy is transferred from the environment to the chloroplast by light, it is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into sugar (glucose), oxygen is also formed and released as a by-product
- photosynthesis can be summarised as follows:
carbon dioxide + water ---> glucose + oxygen
- leaves are well adapted to allow the maximum amount of photosynthesis to take place
