- Water: Plants also need water to carry out the chemical reactions of photosynthesis and to help transport nutrients throughout the plant.
- Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll is a pigment found in chloroplasts that absorbs sunlight and is necessary for photosynthesis to occur.
- Suitable temperature: Photosynthesis works most efficiently within a certain temperature range, typically between 65-85 degrees Fahrenheit (18-30 degrees Celsius). Extreme temperatures can hinder the process.
