HORTICULTURE

Detailed explanation-1: -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’. The foods are called glucose and starch.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Green plants make their own food in the presence of sunlight by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, carbon dioxide gas and chlorophyll.
