<h3>What is photosynthesis?</h3>

Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of sugar in a process known as photosynthesis.

When performing photosynthesis, plants utilize the ambient carbon dioxide and release the oxygen gas they create into the atmosphere. Gas exchange is the term for this. Stomata, a unique part of the plant's leaf, are used to accomplish this. The guard cells that surround the stomata become turgid or flaccid in response to the entry or escape of water molecules, respectively. Stomata open and gas exchange occurs when the guard cells become turgid, or the other way around.
