Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll, converting carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

Carbon Dioxide

A colorless, odorless gas produced by respiration and combustion, essential for photosynthesis as plants absorb it to create glucose.

Glucose

A simple sugar produced during photosynthesis that serves as a primary energy source for plants and other organisms.

Organisms

that can perform photosynthesis, primarily plants, algae, and some bacteria.

Bacteria

Single-celled or multicellular life forms that can perform photosynthesis, decomposition, or fermentation, playing vital roles in ecosystems.

Decomposition

The process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler organic or inorganic matter, often involving the action of microorganisms.

Microorganisms

Organisms that are too small to be seen with the naked eye, including bacteria, fungi, and some protists, playing key roles in processes such as decomposition and nutrient cycling.

Fungi

A diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that can be unicellular or multicellular, playing essential roles in decomposition, nutrient cycling, and symbiotic relationships with plants.

Plants

Organisms that perform photosynthesis, converting sunlight into energy and producing oxygen as a byproduct. They are essential for the Earth's ecosystem.
