Answer:

Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by living organisms.

Step-by-step explanation:

The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water; the energy source is sunlight; and the end-products are oxygen and (energy rich) carbohydrates, for example sucrose and starch. This process is arguably the most important biochemical pathway, since nearly all life depends on it. It is a complex process occurring in higher plants, phytoplankton, algae, as well as bacteria sucl as cyanobacteria. Photosynthetic organisms are also referred to as photoautotrophs.

Answer:

Plants perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce food and oxygen. Sunlight, water and carbon dioxide are the raw materials; food and oxygen are the products of photosynthesis
