What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis
- The process by which plants convert solar energy into chemical energy is called
Photosynthesis.
- Plants performing this process are called Autotrophs.
- Autotrophic organisms are capable of preparing their own food.
- Animals are dependent on plants and other animals for their food, so they are called
Heterotrophic organisms.
