Photosynthesis

Real World Example

Imagine trying to assemble a meal with just a few basic ingredients from your pantry: flour, water, and salt. This is similar to how plants perform photosynthesis by using sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create their food. In this analogy, the flour, water, and salt are like carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight; just as you use them to make a meal, plants use these elements to produce glucose, their source of energy.
