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: -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-3: -There are four factors which are necessary for the process of photosynthesis, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis involves two stages: the light-dependent reactions, which require sunlight and water to produce oxygen, ATP, and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions (or “dark reactions"), which use the products of the light-dependent reactions along with carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-5: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.
