Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
USES
Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

- Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in green plants and other organisms.
- Light energy is collected and utilized by green plants to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules during photosynthesis.
- Photosynthesis is expressed as
- 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2.
- This signifies that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are transformed into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules.
- The products, by light energy collected by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow).
