This lesson focuses on the chemical transformation of light energy into glucose through photosynthesis, emphasizing that plants are self-sustaining producers that generate oxygen as a byproduct. Students will analyze the relationship between inputs (CO2, H2O, light) and outputs (Glucose, O2) to understand the fundamental energy cycle of life.
