Explanation:
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: -Photosynthesis produces carbohydrates. Plants need sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and chlorophyll to complete photosynthesis. Plants use chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide to make sugar.
