Photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight.

Chlorophyll is the green pigment that captures sunlight.

Plants take in carbon dioxide and water to produce glucose and oxygen.

Photosynthesis happens mainly in the leaves.

The process provides oxygen essential for life on Earth.

Photosynthesis occurs in two stages: light-dependent and light-independent.

It converts solar energy into chemical energy.

Without photosynthesis, most life on Earth wouldn’t exist.

Algae and some bacteria can also perform photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis helps reduce carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
