What is photosynthesis?

Plants create food through photosynthesis. For photosynthesis to take place, plants need sunlight, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide. Different parts of the plant are used in photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis

A chemical process by which green plants make their food. Plants use energy from the sun to turn water and carbon dioxide into food, and they give off oxygen as a by-product.

Chlorophyll

The green substance in plants that uses light to manufacture food from carbon dioxide and water.

Stomata

Tiny pores in the bottom of leaves.
