Photosynthesis

Real World Example

Imagine trying to make a delicious smoothie when you only have fruits, a blender, and a bit of juice at your disposal. Just like you combine these ingredients using the blender's power to create a tasty drink, plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water in a process called photosynthesis to create their own food. In this analogy, the fruits, blender, and juice are like the carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water, where sunlight acts as the blender's power source to combine and transform the raw ingredients (carbon dioxide and water) into something nourishing (glucose for the plant).
