Below are things that plants need for photosynthesis:

Carbon dioxide (A colorless, naturally occuring odorless gas found in the air we breathe. It has a scientific symbol CO2. CO2 is produced by burning carbon and organic compounds. It is also produced when plants and animals breathe out during respiration)

Light (Even though both natural and artificial light is OK for plants, natural sunlight is usually great for photosynthesis because they have other natural UV properties that help the plant)

Chlorophyll (This is the green pigment found in the leaves of plants)

Nutrients and minerals (Chemicals and organic compounds which the plant-roots absorb from the soil)

Below are things that plants make by photosynthesis:
