EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is not only important for plants but is also important to people and animals. This is because: Photosynthesis converts light energy into chemical energy that animals and people can consume.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, photosynthesis converts water, solar energy, and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. Photosynthesis creates all of the energy that fuels living organisms. Animals that eat plants acquire their energy from the stored sugar in plants, and animals that eat those animals obtain that same energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -For photosynthesis to take place the organism must have chlorophyll. Since animal cells do not have chlorophyll photosynthesis does not take place in them.

Detailed explanation-4: -Humans, other animals, fungi, and some microorganisms cannot make food in their own bodies like autotrophs, but they still rely on photosynthesis.
