The superhero power of certain organisms 🦸‍♂️

Did you know? Some organisms have a superpower: they can build the very structure of their cells with just sunlight and a bit of carbon dioxide and water! It's like baking a cake using only the power of your eyes and a couple of ingredients from the kitchen.

Photosynthesis – what's it all about? 🌞🍃

Definition: Photosynthesis is like Mother Nature's kitchen. Here, light energy is transformed into chemical energy in carbon compounds. It's a fancy energy swap!

 

Real-world Example: Think of photosynthesis like a solar-powered charger for your phone. The charger (plants and some organisms) takes sunlight (light energy) and converts it into power (chemical energy) to juice up your phone (create carbon compounds).
