explain the role of the sun in photosynthesis
user
the sun is essential for photosynthesis. sunlight provides the energy for photosynthesis, a process in which plants use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and glucose. the sun's ultraviolet radiation helps to energize the reaction centres within a plant’s cells, which drives the photosynthetic process. the sun's light also provides the wavelength of light that plants use to absorb and use the energy they need.
