        What Is Photosynthesis?


        Photosynthesis is the
        process that green plants
        use to capture energy
        from the Sun and convert
        it to food. Some bacteria
        and protists also use
        photosynthesis.

             In addition to the Sun’s energy,
             plants also need water and
             carbon dioxide to carry out the                                    oxygen       water  water   oxygen
