Exploring the Amazing Process of Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a vital process for life on Earth, enabling plants to produce food and oxygen. Plants absorb water through roots and carbon dioxide through stomata. Chloroplasts in leaves use sunlight to convert these into glucose and oxygen. The glucose supports plant growth, while oxygen is released into the atmosphere.

What is the primary function of photosynthesis?

• To absorb sunlight

• To produce carbon dioxide

• To release water vapor

• To create oxygen and glucose
