Definition of photosynthesis
What is the process that plants (& other autotrophs) use to make glucose/food from carbon dioxide, water and energy from the sun?
the reason why seaweeds and water plants which do photosynthesis are found near the surface of bodies of water or in shallow water
What is - they can only live at depths where sunlight can reach?
The molecule which must be split so that Hydrogen can bond with the other reactant to form glucose
What is water?
the substance plants break apart to get the energy for all their life activities
What is glucose?

What is Seaweed - algae. Most algae do photosynthesis?
The balanced equation for photosynthesis
What is 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight=== C6H12O6 + 6O2 or
6 carbon dioxide + 6 water + sun makes 1 glucose and 6 Oxygen?
plant cells do this at night using the products of photosynthesis
What is take in oxygen to break down the sugars they made so they can get energy?
