Photosynthesis
A biochemical process in plants, algae, and some bacteria that converts sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen, utilizing chlorophyll.
- Identify the reliance of all life forms, either directly or indirectly, on the process of photosynthesis for their energy requirements.
