Can you explain photosynthesis in simple words?
Of course! 🌱
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. It produces glucose (food) and releases oxygen.
In simple words: Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, use sunlight as energy, and make their own food (glucose). They also release oxygen, which we breathe.
