Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Producers: Producers are organisms that get their energy directly from the Sun. Their cells are able to turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis, producers combine carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce oxygen and sugar (their food).

Detailed explanation-4: -Producers create their own energy by using the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis works like this; sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll in the leaves of a plant. This sunlight is used to “cook” CO2 and water to create glucose (C6H12O6).
