Answer:

Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small objects called chloroplasts. During photosynthesis, Plants get carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves, and water from the ground through their roots. Light energy comes from the Sun. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.
