BOTANY

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 need three main ingredients to make their food: water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. Plants take up the water that they need from the soil through their roots. Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves.

Detailed explanation-3: -Leaf. Plants use their leaves to make food. The plant’s leaves act like solar panels, soaking up the Sun’s energy. The leaves contain a green pigment (colored chemical) called chlorophyll, which is essential in this process.

Detailed explanation-4: -Green plants produce their own food with the help of sunlight, chlorophyll, water, nutrients from soil, and carbon dioxide from the air. This process is called photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plants must take materials from the environment and use energy from sunlight to make glucose, an energy-rich sugar. Leaf cells trap light energy and use it to convert water and carbon dioxide into sugar. Plants allow carbon dioxide from the air to enter their leaves through tiny holes, and it enters the leaf cells.
