The process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to make food
Real World Example
Imagine trying to make a sandwich with only the ingredients you have at home without going to the store. Just like how you creatively assemble a meal using available bread, cheese, and vegetables, plants take sunlight, carbon dioxide from the air, and water from the soil to create their own food. In this analogy, the bread, cheese, and vegetables are like the sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water, while your kitchen is like the plant’s chloroplasts, where photosynthesis happens, efficiently using what's on hand to sustain life.
