The chloroplasts in plants and other photosynthetic organisms capture light energy that has traveled 150 million km from the sun and convert it to chemical energy that is stored in sugar and other organic molecules.
photosynthesis with this chemical equation: 6 CO 2 + 12 H 2 O + Light energy → C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 O 2 + 6 H 2 O We use glucose (C 6 H 12 O 6) here to simplify the relationship between photosynthesis and respiration, but the direct prod-uct of photosynthesis is actually a three-carbon sugar that can be used to make glucose. Water appears on both ...
