Plants make food by a process known as photosynthesis. As the name suggests, photo or light energy is used in this process of synthesis. Plants use three ingredients: sun light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to make food (sugars). The following takes place during photosynthesis

Another useful product (apart from sugar) is the oxygen, which maintains the oxygen concentration in our atmosphere and enables life sustenance on this planet. The process also removes excess carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, again helping our survival. Photosynthesis is opposite of our respiration. We consume oxygen, break down sugar and generate carbon dioxide; plants consume carbon dioxide and generate oxygen and food. We are thus dependent on photosynthesis for our survival. 

Note that photosynthesis takes place in plants containing chlorophyll.

" Photosynthesis "

" Photosynthesis "

It is the process by which green plant and some other organism use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

The main product form here is glucose and by products are oxygen and water.

Here it takes place in chlorophyll and I'm presence of sunlight.

There are two stages of photosynthesis :

1. Light reactions :

It occurs in the grana where photon are absorbed so as to excite electrons of chlorophyll to a higher energy level. These activated elctrons are harnessed to form ATP from the ADP and reduce NADP to NADPH. Wayer ia also spotted here and oxygen is released.

2. Dark reactions :

Calvin cycle occurring in chlorophyll here carbon combine with 5-carbon sugar called ribulose biphospahte. This unstable compound breaks down into 3-carbon compound. This then forms glucose.
