Kids Learning → Plants → Photosynthesis → What is Photosynthesis

Overview

Photosynthesis is the process that plants use to make their own food. They take in sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which is a type of sugar. This process also releases oxygen, which is important for us to breathe. Understanding photosynthesis helps us learn how plants grow and why they are essential for life on Earth.
