Q
How does photosynthesis work
A
For photosynthesis to occur, the plant needs to take carbon dioxide (from the air, which enters via the stomata [on the underside of leaves) and water (mostly taken up from the roots).
The reaction forms oxygen (which leaves the plant via the stomata) and glucose (a type of sugar).
