Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food. This food, in the form of glucose, is used by the plant to grow and survive. Plants also release oxygen, which is necessary for other living creatures to breathe.

Photosynthesis: The process by which plants use light energy to make sugar (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water. It is the main source of food, oxygen, and energy for living things on Earth. Chlorophyll: The green pigment found in the chloroplasts of plant cells that collects light energy and helps convert it into chemical energy. Chemical Energy: The energy stored in the bonds of molecules which can be used to power processes such as photosynthesis.

During photosynthesis, plants don't just absorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere, but also nitrogen (N2) from the soil. Photosynthesis is the only process by which living organisms can harvest light and turn it into chemical energy. Photosynthesis is not only limited to plants, but it is also performed by some species of bacteria, algae, and protists.
