here is the answer of your question:-

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make their own food. Chlorophyll helps to trap sunlight(light energy), plants take up carbon dioxide from air and absorb water from soil. These inorganic raw materials help plants in making their own food.

The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

The major steps involved in photosynthesis-

Chlorophyll helps in absorption of light energy from sunlight.

Light energy is converted into chemical energy. Then the water molecules splits up in hydrogen and oxygen atoms

Carbon dioxide is reduced into sugar (using that chemical energy) which is stored and used as energy.

The mechanism of photosynthesis is very simple. Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make their own food.

Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, which have a pigment called chlorophyll which is utilized in absorbing light energy from the sunlight.  

The gaseous exchange takes place through stomata, which are tiny pores present on leaves of green plants. Carbon dioxide enters through stomata pores of leaves.  

Water is absorbed by root hairs of roots by osmosis, then the water is transported to leaves of the plant by Xylem tissue. Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of plant.
