photosynthesis

• A process by whichplants use sunlight to fuel a chemical reaction that combines carbon and water into glucose, which is then stored in their cells

• The simplest of carbohydrates; consists of one sugar molecule; the most common is glucose

• The most abundant sugar molecule, a monosaccharide generally found in combination with other sugars; the preferred source of energy for the brain and an important source of energy for all cells.

• One of the threeenergy-yielding macronutrients,a compound made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that is derivedfrom plants and provides energy.
