Plants need ____ to get energy to grow.
A
food
B
sun
C
roots
D
leaves
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Green plants have a pigment called chlorophyll which helps them to prepare their own food. They use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to prepare their own food. This process is called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, the energy from the sunlight is utilized and converted into chemical energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Light work Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis, which means ‘making out of light’.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, a gas, is combined with water and solar energy, and converted to carbohydrates, a solid. Formation of carbohydrates is a chemical way to store the sun’s energy as “food.” Carbohydrates produced from photosynthesis provide energy for all plant growth and maintenance.

Detailed explanation-4: -All plants need space to grow, the right temperature, light, water, air, nutrients, and time.
