Question
how would you describe the process of photosynthesis? conversion of light energy to chemical energy conversion of water to oxygen breakdown of glucose to release energy
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (chemical energy) and oxygen. The key is the conversion of light energy to chemical energy stored in glucose. The "conversion of water to oxygen" is part of it but not the main description. The "breakdown of glucose to release energy" is cellular respiration, not photosynthesis.
