plants take in sunlight and turn it into energy.

Photosynthesis
Plants capture the sun’s energy and use it to convert inorganic compounds into organic compounds. Plants therefore convert minerals found within the soil, such as nitrogen and phosphorus through the process of photosynthesis. Plants have a pigment called chlorophyll found within the plant’s leaves, which allows the plant to capture and use the sun’s energy. They are able to produce food through this process. Plants photosynthesize like humans breathe. Plants use carbon dioxide that we breathe out as waste and water with the aid of sunlight and other nutrients, to form an organic compound that they can use for energy to grow. Additionally, plants produce oxygen as a waste product. This oxygen is important for other species to survive, including humans.

Chemical equation for photosynthesis

6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2

CO2 Carbon dioxide
H2O Water
C6H12O6 Rich organic compound
O2 Oxygen

Hope this helps

Photosynthesis is part of the earth's natural cycle. It usually involves plants, protista, or algae. Photosynthesis is an endogernic reaction meaning it takes in sunlight energy to produce food for other animals such as herbivore's or ominovors.

Can be written as Energy +H20+ Co2= c6h1206+02

the familiar funcion of photosynthesis is to take the carbon oxide interior the air(it extremely is unbreathable by way persons it doesnt help or budy like oxygen) and differences it back into oxygen so we are able to proceed respiratory
