Detailed explanation-1: -False. Hint: Plants through the cycle of chlorophyll ‘make their own food’ and give out oxygen to the world. They use the process of photosynthesis to make their food. Plants use energy from the sun to change over water from the dirt and carbon dioxide into a supplement called glucose.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.
Detailed explanation-3: -Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food.
Detailed explanation-4: -This process is called photosynthesis and is performed by all plants, algae, and even some microorganisms.
