What provides energy to a plant for it to do photosynthesis?
A
moon
B
energy bar
C
sun
D
dirt/soil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun! The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water and reorganizes them to make the sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. After the sugar is produced, it is then broken down by the mitochondria into energy that can be used for growth and repair.

Detailed explanation-3: -During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-4: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested as chemical energy in a process that converts water and carbon dioxide to glucose.
