Question

What is photosynthesis?

​

Answer 1

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).

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