Show transcript
Models are used in science to explain things that can be difficult to see or understand. The word summary and symbol equation for photosynthesis are simple models of the process. Photosynthesis can also be summarised using a model of the two main stages. In the first stage, energy from light is required to split water molecules into hydrogen and waste oxygen. In the second stage, the hydrogen is combined with carbon dioxide to make glucose.
