Connors: Energy Transfer

Energy Transfer: Photosynthesis: Pond Algae or Pediastrum Boryanum
Location: 42.340095,-71.427961
As the sun shines down on the algae I found floating on the surface of a small pond, it is in the process of photosynthesis. The algae is transferring the energy from the sun into energy in the form of food for itself.
CO2+H2O yields C6H12O6+O2
