Photosynthesis is a process used by plants in which energy from sunlight is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into molecules needed for growth. These molecules include sugars, enzymes and chlorophyll. Light energy is absorbed by the green chemical chlorophyll.
For photosynthesis to work the plant needs carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. Then the plants make oxygen and glucose (sugar) by using the inputs of water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide.
