The Amazing Process of Photosynthesis in Plants

Clarendon Learning explores photosynthesis, explaining how plants, unlike animals, make their own food using light, carbon dioxide, and water. The process occurs in chloroplasts within leaves, producing glucose and oxygen. The video emphasizes the interdependence between plants and animals and encourages forest protection.
