LIFE SCIENCE

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: -The plants produce their own food by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water. Chlorophyll present in the chloroplast as a green pigment can trap the solar energy.
