Imagine having a superpower that lets you eat sunlight! Sounds amazing, right? Well, that s what plants do every day using a process called photosynthesis. Just like we need ingredients to cook a dish, plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make their food. This process not only feeds the plants but also produces oxygen, which we breathe. Without photosynthesis, life as we know it wouldn t exist. Here s a fun surprise: it s not just plants that can do photosynthesis. Some types of bacteria can too! Also, did you know that a lot of our oxygen comes from tiny plants in the ocean performing photosynthesis? Now, that s a superpower! So, next time you see a leafy green plant, remember, it s a sun-eating superhero.
