Question

Explain the role of sunlight in the process of photosynthesis

Answer 1

The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas.

Answer 2

When the sun's rays shine down on a plant, the chlorophyll capture the energy from the sun and use it during photosynthesis to make sugars. Sugar is the energy source for plants, that is why sunlight and photosynthesis is so important
