Which of the following statements best describes the term photosynthesis?
A
When plants absorb the energy from the sun.
B
How plants reproduce.
C
The process by which plants make their own food.
D
The process by which animals make their own food.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which best describes the process of photosynthesis? Carbon dioxide and oxygen are converted into glucose and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. 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.
