Photosynthesis is the process where a plant turns light from the sun into usable energy. During the process of photosynthesis carbon dioxide enters the plant through tiny openings called Stomata. The carbon dioxide cycles through and the plant dumps out oxygen as a waste product. The opening and closing of the stomata are controled by cells named guard cells. Guard cells open and close based on different variable in the plant. Heat, mositure, plant chemestry and more. Chlorophyll is also vital to photosynthesis, chlorophyll alows the energy to be used in the plant and it turns the plant the green. That is pretty much all the different things that need to be present in order for photosynthesis to occur.
A simplified formula of Photosynthesis is
Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light (Energy) = Glucose + Oxygen
