Photosynthesis, illustration
Photosynthesis, illustration. Photosynthesis is the process by which most plants (and some other living organisms) convert energy from sunlight into chemical energy. This energy is used to produce carbohydrate, such as starch, which is stored and used for growth. The process occurs in the green parts of the plant (especially the leaves). It requires water (absorbed by the roots) and carbon dioxide (absorbed by the leaves). A by-product is oxygen, which is released by the leaves

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print beautifully captures the essence of photosynthesis, a remarkable process that sustains life on our planet. Illustrated with meticulous detail, it showcases how plants and certain organisms harness sunlight to convert it into vital chemical energy. The green parts of the plant, particularly the leaves, play a crucial role in this transformative journey. As rays of sunshine touch the surface of these vibrant leaves, water absorbed by their roots and carbon dioxide taken in from the atmosphere combine harmoniously within a complex biochemical pathway. This extraordinary conversion results in the production of carbohydrates like starch, which serve as essential fuel for growth and development. A fascinating by-product emerges from this intricate dance between light and life: oxygen. Released back into the atmosphere through delicate leaf pores known as stomata, it replenishes our air supply and supports countless other living beings. The artwork not only portrays nature's ingenuity but also highlights its interconnectedness. It emphasizes how every element – soil, water, sunlight – plays an indispensable role in sustaining this miraculous cycle. With chlorophyll acting as nature's pigmentary masterpiece within each cell responsible for capturing sunlight's energy. This stunning illustration serves as a testament to biology's wonders while reminding us of our profound reliance on Earth’s natural systems for survival. A true celebration of science merging with artistry!
