Where does the energy for photosynthesis come from?
A
The sugar
B
The oxygen
C
The roots
D
The sun
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Sun! The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-3: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide.
