Solution

Photosynthesis:

  1. Photosynthesis is the process through which plants produce their food in their leaves while also releasing oxygen and water as byproducts.
  2. Carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water are the primary elements required for photosynthesis in higher plants.
  3. Carbon dioxide is turned into sugar, and oxygen is produced when water molecules split.
  4. Plants use organelles called chloroplasts to perform photosynthesis.
  5. Herbivores get their energy from plants, while carnivores get theirs from herbivores.
