What is the main idea of the passage?

• Photosynthesis is a process that uses light, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen, which are essential for life on Earth.

• Early experiments by scientists such as Benson, Calvin, and others helped discover that plants absorb light for food production.

• The chloroplasts in plant cells are the only part responsible for photosynthesis.

• The process of photosynthesis is a recent discovery made with radioactive isotopes.
