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

Real World Example

Imagine you're trying to cook a meal using only the ingredients you have in your kitchen and the power of your stove. Just like you gather ingredients like pasta, sauce, and vegetables to make a delicious dinner, plants collect sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to create their own food. In this analogy, the sunlight is like the heat from your stove, carbon dioxide and water are similar to the ingredients in your pantry, and the food you make is the energy-rich glucose that plants produce during photosynthesis.
