  • What's photosynthesis?


\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}

Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants derive their food (nutrients and water) through the capturing of light energy (sunlight) and using it to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into oxygen (O2) and other substances (compounds) that are rich in energy. Chlorophyll a green pigment present in plants is used in this process.
