Photosynthesis: The Importance Of Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis What is Photosynthesis? That is the question. For billions of years the human race has gone through their lives not knowing the importance and impact that photosynthesis has on them. However, my research and many scientists research into Photosynthesis has brought to light what many have shoved to the dark. What is Photosynthesis exactly? Well the simplified version that we’ve all been told when we’re young is that it is something that plants do that changes carbon dioxide into oxygen so we can breath. While partially true there is still so much that is missing. Photosynthesis is the process of plants absorbing light energy from the sun into those chloroplasts and converting it into chemical energy, or sugar. Plants use the energy from the sunlight they absorb to convert the carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose (sugar) and H2O (oxygen). Most of the cool stuff with the chloroplasts happens mainly in the leaves of plants. Simply put the carbon dioxide that the plants need for the chemical reaction are absorbed by stomata in the

His experiment went a like this: Ingenhousz submerged one plants roots underwater in the sunlight and another submerged plants roots in the shade. The experiment showed that the plant in the sunlight would have air bubbles released from the roots of the plant into the water while the plant in the shade would have no bubbles. This showed Ingenhousz that plants use light to produce oxygen.
My explanation however is gravely understating the entire scope of time and intellect needed to discover something like Photosynthesis. Ingenhousz thought the same thing because it took him years to perfect his theory on photosynthesis, 9 years to be exact. Why spend all that time on one little theory though? What is so important about Photosynthesis
