PHOTOSYNTHESIS
AND FOOD
PRODUCTION
, Photosynthesi • Carbon dioxide + water -> glucose +oxy
• 6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 +6O2
s • Plants convert light energy from the sun
chemical energy.
• This means that plants can make their o
food.
• What do plants need? (For Photosynthes
• Sunlight Water Oxygen Mineral ions
Carbon dioxide
• Uses of glucose:
• Respiration / Store as starch / make large
molecules
