Photosynthesis Guided Notes: Sources of Oxygen

1. Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts within plant cells and produces oxygen from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight through light-dependent and light-independent reactions. 2. Chlorophyll, located in the thylakoid membranes of chloroplasts, absorbs sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and energy-rich glucose. 3. The overall process is represented by the chemical equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Sunlight → C6H12O6 + 6O2, showing that carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose and oxygen using energy from sunlight.
