Explain the role of photosynthesis in human metabolism
?The energy that humans utilize ultimately comes from the sun. However, humans and other animals are not capable of harnessing that energy for themselves. Instead, plants harness that energy for humans and other animals through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a process by which plants make sugars from the captured sunlight. Animals, including humans, can then consume these plants, or animals that consume these plants, in order to obtain the energy that is required for life and utilized in our metabolic pathways.
