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: -Plants use their leaves to make food. The plant’s leaves act like solar panels, soaking up the Sun’s energy. The leaves contain a green pigment (colored chemical) called chlorophyll, which is essential in this process.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Photosynthesis takes place in the part of a plant cell called a chloroplast. Chloroplasts are found in the cells of leaves. Chloroplasts use chlorophyll to store the food they have created using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Detailed explanation-5: -It acts as their food and provides them energy. Plants need to synthesise their own food because unlike other living organisms, plants can not move and cannot hunt. But, for their sustenance they need food, therefore they have to make their own food.
