What is photosynthesis ?
The process through which green plants prepare their own food is known as photosynthesis.
<u>Photosynthesis- The food making process in Plants:</u>
The synthesis of food in plants occurs in their leaves. Hence, leaves are called the food factories of the plants. The leaves have a green pigment called chlorophyll. It helps leaves to capture the energy of the sunlight. This energy is used by the pants to synthesise their food using carbon dioxide and water. This process is known as Photosynthesis.
(photo = light ; synthesise = to combine) as it takes place in the presence of sunlight.
