1600 - What is included in the process of photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is how plants make food. The process includes:

  1. Plants absorb water from the ground through their roots.
  2. They take in a gas called carbon dioxide from the air.
  3. Plants use sunlight as energy.
  4. They mix everything together to make glucose (a type of sugar, their food) and oxygen.
  5. The oxygen is released into the air, and we breathe it in.

So, it's like a little food-making factory inside plants.
