Answer the following question about the generalized photosynthesis equation below:6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2Describe in words what occurs during the process represented by the photosynthesis equation. Include the importance of sunlight
During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to provide the energy needed to combine carbon dioxide and water in a series of chemical reactions. The process produces glucose, a sugar that stores the energy from sunlight and serves as food for the plant, and oxygen gas.

Write a paragraph describing how Earth would be different if photosynthetic plants had not evolved.
If photosynthetic plants had not evolved, Earth would be very different. There would be no trees or flowering plants, and most organisms would have no food because plants form the base of most food chains. The atmosphere would contain little or no oxygen, so most animals and humans could not survive. People would also lack many plant-based products, including building materials, medicines, fuels, and fibers. Fossil fuels would not have formed because they developed from ancient plant and organism remains.
