The Importance of Photosynthesis

The video explains how plants and similar organisms use sunlight to produce food through photosynthesis. It highlights the importance of photosynthesis for life on Earth, as it provides energy for plants and indirectly for animals. The process involves using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create sugars and oxygen. Chlorophyll, found in chloroplasts within plant cells, captures light energy to facilitate this process.

What pigment do plants use to capture light energy during photosynthesis?

Where in plant cells does photosynthesis occur?
