photosynthesis

CIDEB students were invited to an excursion in Chipinque, mister Ricardo was the one who took them there. It was a place with a great diversity of plants and animals.

Photo- what? Do they take a photo?

Look, there’s a beautiful flower over there

Mmm, it is actually so pretty. How can it be so well-grown without eating anything?

Shh, let him explain

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use sunlight to make their own food. Photosynthesis is necessary for life on Earth. Without it there would be no green plants, and without green plants there would be no animals.

And photosynthesis contributes something to humans?

Of course, in photosynthesis, solar energy is converted into chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide into glucose, releasing the oxygen we breathe as a product.

They do not precisely eat, Dani. They carry out photosynthesis

OMG! this sun is killing me,it's so hot here

That is because the infrared range andy

Yes, it's part of the sunlight that is a set of waves with different characteristics called spectrum, that we can classify them by their different wavelengths.

WHAT? Is it not because of the sun?

Are the ones that we cant see right?

Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs

Do just plants carry out photosynthesis?

The ultraviolet rays are the ones that we cant see, the visible range are different because you can see them and the infrared range is the radiation that is responsible for the heat provided by the sun that is causing you to feel hot.
