For hundreds of millions of years, plants have been busy doing something no laboratory
has ever been able to duplicate: Using sunlight, the produce food. A crucial condition for
this extraordinary transformation however is that the light that the plants receive must be
precisely right for photosynthesis to take place.

tures–human beings and animals, whose energy is derived from combus-
tion in oxygen, a reaction that produces carbon dioxide. If plants didn't re-
lease oxygen, the oxygen-breathers would eventually use up all the free
oxygen in the atmosphere and that would be the end of them. Instead, the
oxygen in the atmosphere is constantly being replenished by plants.
Without photosynthesis, plant life could not exist; and without plant life,
there would be no animal or human life. This marvelous chemical reaction,
which has never been duplicated in any laboratory, is taking place deep in
the grass you step on and in trees. It once occurred in the vegetables on

your dinner plate. It is one of the fundamental processes of life.
When we study photosynthesis, we can't help but observe that there is
a perfect balance between plant photosynthesis and the energy consump-
tion of oxygen-breathers. Plants supply glucose and oxygen. Oxygen-
breathers burn the glucose in the oxygen in their cells to get energy and
