Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in the form of glucose.

This process generally involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll, which is a green pigment in plant cells. Pumpkins are plants, and like other plants, they undergo photosynthesis to produce their own food. Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through small pores called stomata, usually located on the leaves.

Plants absorb water from the soil through their roots. In the presence of light, chlorophyll uses the absorbed light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen.
