Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants use photosynthesis to capture carbon dioxide and then release half of it into the atmosphere through respiration. Plants also release oxygen into the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which solar energy is trapped by chlorophyll to convert the carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the form of glucose. It is produced in the plants where chlorophyll is present inside the chloroplast as trapping the solar energy initiates the process.

Detailed explanation-4: -The process in which carbon dioxide reacts with water in presence of chlorophyll and sunlight to produce carbohydrates (glucose) and oxygen is known as photosynthesis. New products (glucose and oxygen) are obtained during photosynthesis, thus it is a chemical change.

Detailed explanation-5: -The light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle In this process, water molecules are also converted to oxygen gas-the oxygen we breathe! The Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent reactions, takes place in the stroma and does not directly require light.
