Six facts about photosynthesis
The process mostly takes place in the chloroplasts of plant leaf mesophyll cells.
The energy for photosynthesis comes from light.
Light energy is converted to chemical energy by chlorophyll.
There are two sets of reactions, light dependent and light independent.
Photosynthesis is affected by temperature, light intensity, light wavelength and carbon dioxide level.
All living things depend on the organic molecules synthesised by plants as a result of photosynthesis.
