Example Made from this short text:
Plants make their own food through photosynthesis. Inside each leaf cell, chloroplasts hold a green pigment called chlorophyll, which absorbs sunlight. In the light-dependent reactions, that energy splits water and releases oxygen into the air. In the Calvin cycle, the plant then uses carbon dioxide from the air to build glucose, a sugar it can store or burn for energy.
