Why is the photosynthesis important to the global world?

Explanation

• In photosynthesis solar energy is converted to chemical energy and is stored in plants as starch.
• Plants also sture excess sugar by synthesis of starch.
• Hetrotrophs, including humans, may completely or partially consume plants for fuel and raw materials.
• Photosynthesis is responsible for the presence of oxygen in our atmosphere.
• Each year, photosynthesis synthesizes approx 160 billion mteric tons of carbohydrate.
