Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthetic cells contain chlorophyll and other light-sensitive pigments that capture solar energy. In the presence of carbon dioxide, such cells are able to convert this solar energy into energy-rich organic molecules, such as glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Photosynthesis can only occur in specific cells of the plant that contain chlorophyll such as cells of leaves. Thus, all the cells of a plant can not perform photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-4: -Plants, algae, and a group of bacteria called cyanobacteria are the only organisms capable of performing photosynthesis. Because they use light to manufacture their own food, they are called photoautotrophs (“self-feeders using light”).
