Photosynthesis The process that plants use to make their own food
For photosynthesis to occur, a plant needs water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide The plant then produces glucose (sugar) and oxygen
The process of photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of plants
Process of photosynthesis Sunlight is absorbed by a green chemical in the leaves called CHLOROPHYLL Chlorophyll Hydrogen(breaks down water into)Oxygen H and CO2 (found in the air are used to create the GLUCOSE that feeds the plant, while the O2 is released into the atmosphere (which we breathe)
