NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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: -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: -Green plants produce their own food with the help of sunlight, chlorophyll, water, nutrients from soil, and carbon dioxide from the air. This process is called photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer: The leaves have a green pigment called chlorophyll which helps leaves to capture the energy of the sunlight and to synthesis food. Other parts of the plants do not have chlorophyll therefore they are unable to synthesise food.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight which a plant uses to make food. chloroplast: a plastid that contains chlorophyll and is the site where photosynthesis and starch formation occur. photosynthesis: the formation of carbohydrates in the chlorophyll containing tissues of plants exposed to light.
