The beginning of the food chain for all living things on Earth is caused by the biological process known as:
A
Root hairs
B
Structure
C
Leaves
D
Photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is essential to all life on earth; both plants and animals depend on it. It is the only biological process that can capture energy that originates in outer space (sunlight) and convert it into chemical compounds (carbohydrates) that every organism uses to power its metabolism.

Detailed explanation-2: -Through photosynthesis, certain organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy, which is then used to build carbohydrate molecules. The energy used to hold these molecules together is released when an organism breaks down food. Cells then use this energy to perform work, such as cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants produce carbohydrates using carbon dioxide, and water in the presence of sunlight. This process can be termed as the most important life process in the ecosystem as it enables the conversion of light energy of the sun to chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is the process in which solar energy is trapped by chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the form of glucose. It is produced in plants where chlorophyll is present inside the chloroplast as trapping the solar energy initiates the process.
