Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and certain other organisms synthesise their own food i.e. transform sunlight energy into chemical energy with the help of chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most plants contain a special colored chemical or pigment called chlorophyll that is used in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun’s energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed. Sunlight has many different colors in it.

Detailed explanation-4: -Light energy is converted to chemical energy during the first stage of photosynthesis, which involves a series of chemical reactions known as the light-dependent reactions.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
