Answer 1

Photosynthesis:

1. Green plants and certain other creatures convert light energy into chemical energy through a process called photosynthesis. Light energy is gathered and utilized during photosynthesis in green plants to change the water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen- and energy-rich organic molecules.
2. Since plants are autotrophs, they can make their food using inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and water through the process of photosynthesis.
3. In photosynthesis, plants make use of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
4. It creates oxygen and energy in the form of sugar as the byproduct.
5. It generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll to generate oxygen as a by-product.
