 H2O + CO2 Glucose + O2

chlorophyll

 The light energy absorbed by the chlorophyll in green

plants is used to break water molecules into hydrogen and
oxygen. This process is called photolysis.
 The hydrogen then combines with carbon and part of the
oxygen in carbon dioxide to produce glucose.
 The energy transformation that takes places during
photosynthesis.

Light energy chemical energy

 The Material that fade when exposed to light have
chemical that are sensitive to light.
When they are exposed to the light, a chemical reaction
occur.
These substances are photosensitive chemical.
Observed when photosensitive chemical are
exposed to the light.
Silver bromide is photosensitive chemical.
