Generation

Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose (sugar). During this process, plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil, then use sunlight—captured by the green pigment chlorophyll—to rearrange these molecules into glucose and oxygen. The oxygen is released as a byproduct, which is what we breathe, while the glucose provides energy for the plant to grow and survive. Essentially, photosynthesis is how plants make their own food using sunlight.
