What does the plant do with the matter it takes in during photosynthesis?

The matter taken in by plants during photosynthesis includes water, light and CO2 and it uses them to produce carbohydrate( used for plant energy) and oxygen ( as by-product).

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which carbohydrates or sugars are manufactured in the green plants containing chlorophyll by combination of carbon( IV) oxide and water with the aid of radiant energy of sunlight while oxygen is given out as a by- product.

These matters taken in by the plant are factors which affect the process of photosynthesis and they include:

- light intensity: the rate of photosynthesis increases with moderately high light intensity while the rate is decreased with low light intensity.

-carbon( IV) oxide: The more the CO2 in the photosynthetic cells the faster the rate of photosynthesis.

- water: this is also an essential raw material for photosynthesis.
