Label key components: chlorophyll (captures light), carbon dioxide (absorbed), water (absorbed), glucose (produced), and oxygen (produced as a byproduct).

Here are the key components labeled with their functions in the process of photosynthesis:

  1. Chlorophyll: Captures light energy from the sun.
  2. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂): Absorbed from the atmosphere through leaf stomata.
  3. Water (H₂O): Absorbed from the soil through roots.
  4. Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆): Produced as a primary energy source for the plant.
  5. Oxygen (O₂): Produced as a byproduct and released into the atmosphere.

These components are essential for the overall process of photosynthesis, where light energy is converted into chemical energy.
