Photosynthesis Concepts and Processes

Mrs. Rusty introduces photosynthesis with help from plant friends. Larry explains how plants are producers, converting sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose. Penny describes the process, highlighting the role of roots, leaves, and stomata. Steve discusses glucose creation and oxygen release. Glenda summarizes the process, emphasizing plants as producers. The video concludes with a review of key concepts.
