Photosynthesis is the process whereby green plants use light energy from sun with carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.
For photosynthesis to take place, sunlight must be available, carbondioxide, water and temperature must be available. Carbon dioxide is needed for photosynthesis to produce glucose.
A decrease in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will reduce the rate of photosynthesis.

Ammonia is removed from an aquarium system through the use of a biofilter. The biofilter provides a substrate on which nitrifying bacteria grow. These nitrifying bacteria consume ammonia and produce nitrite, which is also toxic to fish. Other nitrifying bacteria in the biofilter consume nitrite and produce nitrate.
Photosynthesis involves three elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. You have seen that the products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. Their chemical formulas are shown below.
