Show transcript
Word and balanced symbol equations to summarise the chemical reactants and products of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is an endothermic chemical process that requires energy from a light source such as the Sun.
Light is not a chemical reactant, but transfers energy to chlorophyll to enable photosynthesis to take place.
Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts in cells in green parts of plants, which contain chlorophyll to absorb light.
Chloroplasts and stomata are adaptations of leaves for photosynthesis and gas exchange.
