Quick comprehension check

Draw a diagram that illustrates the photosynthesis process, labeling the inputs (sunlight, water, carbon dioxide) and outputs (glucose, oxygen). Include arrows to show the direction of the process. Create a diagram that represents how plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce glucose and oxygen during photosynthesis. Be sure to label all components clearly.
