Introduction, paragraph 2 and Section 2 physiological effects should answer most of your question. From that you can explore deeper using pubmed and recent literature. - December 22, 2010 at 11:48 am #102894

Participanthello ,
i want say about Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. 6H2O + 6CO2 ———-> C6H12O6+ 6O2
