school assignment please help

Can anyone explain the process of photosynthesis for water lilies?
Photosynthesis in water lillies occurs through the absorption of sunlight into receptor cells known as chlorophyll.


Water lillies also absorb carbon dioxide through pores in their leaves known as stomata.


The energy from the absorbed sunlight and the carbon dioxide is combined and through a chemical reaction, which you know as photsynthesis, produces sugar. It is this sugar which the water lily stores and feeds off.
