The process of photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon Water sugar

oxygen

Dioxide (chemical energy)

Sugar is food for plants and other organisms.

Plants & animals connect through the

pond community. They also need

energy!

Carbon dioxide and water are what make sugar and oxygen.

Animals get their energy from what they have

eaten.

Produced during photosynthesis, it provides energy for all organisms in an ecosystem.

Providing a source of energetic electrons

to other reactions.
