PHOTOSYNTHESIS (Explanation Text)

Photosynthesis is a synthesis process of food to be an energy source in green plant. Photosynthesis can be
definite as a process of making food that happen
in the leaf, which done by the chlorophyll and
helped by the sun light. There are some factors
which influence the photosynthesis process,
such as: light, chlorophyll, temperature, carbon
dioxide, and water.

The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by

a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-
making cell in a plant leaf contains chlorophyll
in small bodies called chloroplasts. In
chloroplast, light energy causes water drawn
from the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

The sun is the natural source of the light that is utilized by photosynthesis. However, photosynthesis also
occurs in the presence of artificial light, like that from an electric bulb. Photosynthesis occurs in outdoor
plants only during daylight hours.

The process of photosynthesis, in a series of complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide
from the air, forming a simple sugar. Oxygen from the water molecules is given off in the process. From
sugar together with nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein,
vitamins, and other complex compounds essential for life.

Water and carbon dioxide which have absorbed will do the photosynthesis process in the leaf. During the
photosynthesis they are helped by sun light which finds in the green
colored pigment, the sun light will break water molecule into oxygen
and hydrogen. In one side the oxygen is released to the external air
and at the other side the oxygen is used by plant to breath, meanwhile
the hydrogen mix with the carbon dioxide and form glucose which
distributed by vascular phloem into the all body of plant.

Photosynthesis is the ultimate source of food and energy for animals

and human beings as well as for plants. Animals and human beings
eat vegetation whose protoplasm was elaborated from the products of
photosynthesis. From this vegetation animals and men obtain the
energy that is necessary for their life and growth. The original source
of this energy was the sunlight that was converted into the chemical
energy of glucose by means of photosynthesis.

So, photosynthesis is an important process that produce oxygen as an air which used by living things to
breath, and glucose as an energy source in plant. We can also conclude that Photosynthesis is how plants use
light and water to make sugar and it is created in the green parts of a plant and every animal on earth depends
on it. So, without plants we would have no food to eat or oxygen to breath.
Photosynthesis
A general statement :
What is photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a food-making process that occurs in green plants. It is the chief
function of leaves. The word photosynthesis means putting together with light. Green plants use energy from
light to combine carbon dioxide and water to make sugar and other chemical compounds.

A sequenced explanation of how or why something occurs :

How is the light used in photosynthesis?
The light used in photosynthesis is absorbed by a green pigment called chlorophyll. Each food-making cell in
a plant leaf contains chlorophyll in small bodies called chloroplasts. In chloroplast, light energy causes water
drawn form the soil to split into hydrogen and oxygen.

What are the steps of photosynthesis process? Let me tell you the process of photosynthesis, in a series of
complicated steps, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide from the air, forming a simple sugar. Oxygen
from the water molecules is given off in the process. From sugar together with nitrogen, sulphur, and
phosporus from the soil-green plants can make starch, fat, protein, vitamins, and other complex compounds
essential for life. Photosynthesis provides the chemical energy that is needed to produced these compounds.

Photosynthesis Process
 Photosynthesis is a Biochemical Process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, Creating the
Atmospheric Oxygen and food that sustain the majority of life on Earth.

The process uses sunlight to convert water and Carbon Dioxide into Carbohydrates and Oxygen. It
works into two stages : The Light Dependent Reaction and The light Independent Reaction. In Senior
High School, generally known as Aerob Reaction and Anaerob Reaction.

The First stage is The Light Dependent Reaction. In this first step of Photoshnythesis, sunlight enters
the first Photosystem and energizes the Chlorophyll.

The excited Chlorophyll splits water into Oxygen and Hydrogen. Meanwhile, the chlorophyll feeds
electrons into a complex sequence of nearby molecules called the electron transport chain.

The freed Oxygen escapes into Athmosphere, While the freed Hydrogen is used later in The light
Independent Reaction. As electrons move along the electron transport chain, their energy make the
molecule ATP, which is used by all known forms of life to fuel their cellular functions. The electrons enter
a second Photo system, get full energized by sunlight, and move along another electron transport chain to
construct a molecule called NADP. The second stage is The Light Independent Reaction. NADP combines
with Hydrogen, which was freed earlier in The Light Dependent Reaction, to produce NADPH.

NADPH, ATP, and Choloroplast Enzyme called Rubisco, work together to create sugars and other
Carbohydrates from Carbon Dioxide and Water in a Process called The Calvin Benson Cycle. It is a very
complex reaction that Fixes Carbon from the Athmosphere forming The Foundation of Earth’s major
food chains plants directly use sugar as their food, and many other organisms eat plants to gain their
stored energy.

We can also conclude that Photosynthesis is how plants use light and water to make sugar and It is
created in the green parts of a plant and every animal on earth depends on it. So, Without plants we would
have no food to eat or oxygen to breath
