Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make their own food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
This process takes place in the leaves of plants with the help of a green pigment called chlorophyll.
Steps of Photosynthesis
1.The plant absorbs sunlight through chlorophyll in the leaves.
2.The roots absorb water from the soil.
3.The leaves take carbon dioxide from the air through small pores called stomata.
4.Using sunlight energy, the plant converts water and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen.
Chemical Equation
6CO + 6HO + Sunlight CHO + 6O
Conclusion
Photosynthesis is important because it helps plants make food and releases oxygen, which is necessary for humans and animals to breathe.
