Answer:
photosynthesis is a process by which plants make thief food
Answer:
The process by which green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using energy from sunlight is known as PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
Explanation:
Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that takes place inside a plant, producing food for the plant to survive.
Carbon dioxide, water and light are all needed for photosynthesis to take place.
Photosynthesis happens in the leaves of a plant.
The process of photosynthesis
• Plants need food to respire, grow and reproduce. Unlike animals, plants are able to make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis takes place in the part of the plant cell containing chloroplasts, these are small structures that contain chlorophyll.
• For photosynthesis to take place, plants need to take in carbon dioxide (from the air), water (from the ground) and light (usually from the sun).
Here is the word equation for photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide+ water ----(sunlight)----> Glucose+ Oxygen
