The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The term photosynthesis usually refers to oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that releases oxygen as a byproduct of water splitting.
- Photosynthetic organisms store the converted chemical energy within the bonds of intracellular organic compounds, typically carbohydrates like sugars, starches, phytoglycogen and cellulose.
- When needing to use this stored energy, an organism's cells then metabolize the organic compounds through cellular respiration.
Why it is Epic
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Photosynthesis article was read about 540,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 90: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
