H2O and Sunlight make ATP energy using Photosynthesis.
Hydrogen has two atoms. Lets look at it like this:
H H
O
Hydrogen stays. Oxygen is released through the stomata into the biosphere.
Hydrogen then reacts with Carbon Dioxide to make ATP energy, Glucose, and STARCH
Therefore we receive the equation:
6H2O + 6CO2 + Sunlight --> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Water + Carbon Dioxide + Sunlight = Glucose + Oxygen
Oxygen is then released into the air, and it is continuous. The glucose is stored as ATP Energy, STARCH, or plain old Glucose to feed to plant.

What is the source of energy for photosynthesis?
The Source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight.
What do green plants need to release energy from food?
The energy for photoshythesis in plants come from the sun.
Do plants release energy?
No they do not. They take in sunlight to convert glucose into ATP, which they then use as "food". They take in CO2 and then release Oxygen if that's what you're wondering...
What kind of energy does photosynthesis need?
It needs light energy. Sun is the source
Is sunlight mechanical energy?
No, it is electrical and light energy, which transforms into heat energy.
How sunlight is converted into potential energy by plants explain?
Photosynthesis
Animals do not make their own food from energy in sunlight Explain why they still depend on the sun for energy?
Because what they eat requires sunlight to live, therefore without sunlight they'd have no food.
What do plants do when manufacturing food?
They photosynthesize and produce glucose which is used for growth, and release oxygen as a waste product. They absorb solar energy (sunlight), and transforms it into chemical energy (sugar). Word equation Sunlight + Carbon Dioxide --> Glucose + Oxygen Chemical equation Sunlight + CO2 --> C6H12O6 + O2
What to do chloroplasts make with the energy from sunlight?
They are doing photosynthesis. They use chlorophylfor absorb energy.
What do coal sunlight uranium have in common?
All release energy.
What do coal sunlight and uranium have in common?
All can release energy.
What must cells have enough of to release energy from food?
Sunlight
Explain how sunlight is the primary sources of energy for your own life?
because it is powere fu;l
Does your body get all its energy from sun . explain?
Yes - indirectly. We get energy from the food we eat, which comes from animals or plants; animals also get their energy from plants; and plants get the energy from sunlight.
Does sunlight contain energy?
Sunlight is energy.
What is a product of photosynthesis what do the plants release?
The products are glucose and oxygen. The product for the plant is energy.
Explain in what way solar cells are like leaves of plants?
Leaves in a plant have light photons whicch absorb the sunlight energy given from the sun . The solar cells are like the light photons and they too absorb sunlight energy
