During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air and water (H₂O) from the soil, using sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll to convert these into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂). The glucose serves as an energy source for the plant, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere. Photosynthesis is critical for life on Earth as it is the primary source of oxygen and the foundation of most food chains. This process occurs in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
