Photosynthesis | Mimi Bebe

Photosynthesis is a complex process by which plants, algae, and cyanobacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. The United Nations has recognized the importance of photosynthesis in its Sustainable Development Goals. Coral reefs rely on photosynthetic algae to produce the energy they need to survive, while rainforests rely on photosynthetic plants to produce the oxygen they need to thrive. Parents can teach their children about the importance of these ecosystems by exploring national parks and wildlife sanctuaries.
