Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Dioxide (CO2)-Plants obtain CO2 from the atmosphere via stomata. Water-Plants take water from the earth and transmit it to their leaves via their roots. Sunlight is the only source of light that the chlorophyll and other green elements of the plant absorb.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis in plants is of 3 steps, occurring in chloroplast: Absorption of light, Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water molecules, Carbon dioxide is reduced to carbohydrates.
