EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight and gives green color to the plant. This solar energy is converted into chemical energy which is stored in the form of food. Carbon dioxide and water are the raw materials that are used during the process of photosynthesis and are converted into glucose with the release of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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. Without this process, life on Earth as we know it would not be possible.

Detailed explanation-4: -They use photosynthesis to convert sunlight, water and substances such as oxygen and carbon dioxide into simple food like glucose. It acts as their food and provides them energy. Plants need to synthesise their own food because unlike other living organisms, plants can not move and cannot hunt.

Detailed explanation-5: -The green plants produces food in the form of glucose by utilizing carbon dioxide and water in the presence of solar energy. The green pigment called chlorophyll can trap the solar energy which is used to perform photosynthesis, that finally produces food in plants.
