(1) Photosynthesis is the methodology plants use to transform sunlight

into the nutrition needed to endure and grow. Most plants make

some form of sugar from the sun rays, and the plant employs this sugar as its direct food source.

(2) Plants require only three things to produce this sugar:

daylight, carbon dioxide, and water. The rays react with the

plant's chlorophyll, a green chemical that prepares sugar using the combination of H20 and C02

(3) As a broad rule, photosynthesis happens in plants' leaves.

The leaf has chlorophyll, which responds when daylight strikes the

leaf. The chlorophyll also provides the leaf with its distinctive green

colour since photosynthesis interests most sun rays, excluding green

echoed outside.

(4) The method of photosynthesis creates more than simply sugar. One byproduct of the procedure is oxygen, which is "exhaled."

by the plant into the environment. Plant photosynthesis is one

of the main origins of oxygen creation on our planet, driving

plant life necessary to practically all living things.
