|
The plants need sunlight to grow
|
|
|
So that the plant doesn’t die
|
|
|
The plant uses sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose
|
|
|
So that the plant can take in the water and release oxygen into the environment

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. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels.
Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Plants use simple inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide, water and sunlight to produce complex organic substances such as glucose and starch. It is termed as photosynthesis because it can only occur in the presence of sunlight. The chlorophyll pigment in plants help in trapping the energy from the sun.
