Learn the difference between the light-dependent and light-independent reactions.
Memorize the chemical equation for photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy → C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Be able to explain the role of chlorophyll in capturing light energy.
Understand the importance of photosynthesis in the global carbon cycle and oxygen production.
Remember, photosynthesis is a fundamental process that sustains life on Earth by providing energy for plants and ultimately for all living organisms. Understanding this process is crucial for comprehending how energy flows through ecosystems.
Explain how Earth's fluid outer core creates the magnetosphere and how this helps protect both humans and technology (such as satellites) from solar winds.
