The process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food

Real World Example

Imagine trying to make a sandwich but you start with an empty refrigerator. Just like you need to gather ingredients like bread, cheese, and lettuce to make your meal, plants gather sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce their food through photosynthesis. In this analogy, the refrigerator is like the plant, the ingredients are sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, and just as you combine ingredients to create a sandwich, plants use these elements to create glucose, their form of food.
