Photosynthesis

What does Photosynthesis mean?

Well, Photosynthesis is how plant cells obtain energy, which begins with a simple energy converting, food making process.

How it happens:

Step 1: Photosynthesis occurs when energy is in the form of sunlight, which is captured by chlorophyll, which is in the chloroplast. Step 2: When the energy that has been captured is converted into energy found in food.
