C1.3 Photosynthesis
From light to chemical energy
It takes energy to make CO2 combine with H2O
This energy comes from sunlight
The energy is absorbed and used by chlorophyll
Light energy is transferred into chemical energy in carbon compounds
From inorganic to organic carbon compounds
Reminder 
Animals get their food by eating plants, or other animals
– Carnivores eat animals
– Herbivores eat plants
Plants make their own food
They combine carbon dioxide from the air with water and mineral ions from the soil
Plants do NOT get their food from the soil
The first stage by which plants make carbohydrates is called
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis = Photo + synthesis = Light + Putting together
Photosynthesis = To make something (Sugar = glucose) using light
