Photosynthesis uses the energy of sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and high-energy sugars.
Here's why the correction is important:
* Oxygen is a product, not a source of energy: Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a byproduct, not as a way to store energy.
* Sugars are the energy storage: The primary energy-rich product of photosynthesis is glucose, a type of sugar. This sugar is used by the plant for growth, reproduction, and other life processes.
