Explain in detail how photosynthesis follows the law of conservation of mass AND the law of conservation of energy. Will fan and medal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The law of conservation of mass states that matter can not be created nor destroyed. Photosynthesis turns energy from sunlight into food as it is mixed with other minerals it absorbs through the ground. Its food doesn't just magically appear, it comes from some other place. As you can see its food didn't just come out of nowhere according too that scientific law.

You have to use the law of conservation of energy too

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay The law of conservation of energy states that the total amount of energy in a system remains constant ("is conserved"), although energy within the system can be changed from one form to another or transferred from one object to another. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but it can be transformed. That's really what we mean when we say we are "using" energy. The law of conservation of energy means that when energy is being used, it is not being used up. Instead, it is being changed from one form into another. A car engine burns fuel, converting the fuel's chemical energy into mechanical energy to make the car move. Windmills change the wind's energy into mechanical energy to turn turbines, which then produce electricity. Solar cells change sunlight (radiant energy) into electrical energy.
