Photosynthesis

Plants have the unique ability to produce their own food through photosynthesis, a process that involves chlorophyll absorbing sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are stored in various parts of the plant and provide energy for growth and reproduction. Photosynthesis is crucial not only for plants but also for animals, as it provides oxygen and energy through the food chain, sustaining life on Earth.
