Photosynthesis
What is it?
Photosynthesis is the process in which plants make food for themselves by a constant growth cycle. Photosynthesis benefits us and the plant. Photosynthesis helps us by providing the release of oxygen into the air, and the plant gets food. Plants are autotrophs, I will explain what those are in a moment.
What are autotrophs?
Autotrophs are organisms able to create their own food for themselves through a process or cycle. Autotrophs are interesting creatures. They can create this food for themselves out of the substances within our environment, such as carbon dioxide.
Process of photosynthesis
Plants absorb CO2 and H2O from the soil and air. The water inside the plant cell is oxidized, which causes it to lose electrons. Since the CO2 is reduced, this water, at the same time, gains electrons. The water transforms into oxygen, which the plant releases during this process, and the CO2 turns into glucose, which is major for the energy needed across the plant cell.
