Photosynthesis is like...

Photosynthesis is like baking.

In baking, you need ingredients like flour, eggs, butter. Similarly, with photosynthesis, you have ingredients like carbon dioxide and water.

When baking, you have to observe the right temperature and the right timing while baking in an oven. With photosynthesis, you need to have chlorophyll, sunlight and a suitable temperature. In addition, chlorophyll is like your oven in baking. Trapping the heat and light just like what chlorophyll does.

Finally, we have our product, our cake. In photosynthesis, we have oxygen, glucose and water.

What is photosynthesis to you?
