Photosynthesis Process - Classroom Poster

Light Absorption
Plant leaves contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs sunlight.
CO₂ Uptake
Plants take in carbon dioxide through tiny openings on leaves called stomata.
Water Uptake
Water is absorbed from the soil through roots and transported to the leaves.
The Reaction
Photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts, using sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.
Chemical Equation:
6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
Glucose Production and Oxygen Release
The process produces glucose, which serves as the primary energy source for plants, and releases oxygen into the atmosphere through the stomata.
