howdy! hope youre having a good day!

here are two basic steps in photosynthesis

capturing sunlight: plants capture sunlight through their leaves using a pigment called chlorophyll. this sunlight is essential for photosynthesis.

making food: using the captured sunlight, plants take in carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil. they use these ingredients to create glucose (a type of sugar) and oxygen. this process occurs in the green parts of the plant, like the leaves.
