- Answer this questionarrow_forwardRead each statement carefully and determine if it is true or false for photosynthesis:arrow_forwardPhotosynthesis is important to living organisms because it is the number one source of oxygen in the atmosphere. Green plants and trees use photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water in the atmosphere: It is their primary source of energy. By recognizing concepts learned on this module, answer the following questions briefly: a. How important is light energy in the absorption and conversion of chlorophyll. b. Describe the role of the proton+ gradient used to make energy currencies such as ATP.arrow_forward
