Howie put his plants under a plant light. what was he helping his plants do by providing light?
A
make food
B
attract insects
C
release pollen
D
grow roots
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a pigment that gives plants their green color, and it helps plants create their own food through photosynthesis.

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: -Chlorophyll’s job in a plant is to absorb light-usually sunlight. The energy absorbed from light is transferred to two kinds of energy-storing molecules. Through photosynthesis, the plant uses the stored energy to convert carbon dioxide (absorbed from the air) and water into glucose, a type of sugar.

Detailed explanation-4: -The plant uses the Sun’s energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into a sugary substance called glucose. The plant uses the glucose as a food to help it stay alive and grow.
