EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -The whole process of photosynthesis is a transfer of energy from the Sun to a plant. In each sugar molecule created, there is a little bit of the energy from the Sun, which the plant can either use or store for later.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the processes of using sunlight to convert chemical compounds (specifically carbon dioxide and water) into food. Photosynthesizing organisms (plants, algae, and bacteria) provide most of the chemical energy that flows through the biosphere.

Detailed explanation-4: -The sun has created almost all of the energy we use today. Oil and gas are made up of compressed plants, dinosaurs and other living things from many millions years of ago. Living things depend on plants to make energy from sunlight.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Sun’s energy gets to the Earth through radiation, which you can prove just by standing outside and letting the sun’s rays warm your face on a sunny day. Every object around you is continually radiating, unless its temperature is at absolute zero, at which point its molecules completely stop moving.
