HORTICULTURE

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.

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 the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Sunlight coming from the sun is used by plants to make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. It is a renewable source of energy.
