NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The leaves prepare food for the plants, using water and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. This process is called photosynthesis. The prepared food is in the form of glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis: Plants are known to produce food on their own through leaves. The roots of a plant absorb water and minerals from the soil, which are converted to food in presence of sunlight by the leaves. This process is known as photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -4. Explain to the class: Plants make their own food and leaves are the food-making machines (autotrophs) during the process of photosynthesis. They are able to turn water, carbon dioxide and sunlight into a nutritious substance called glucose, which in turn provides sustenance for plants and trees.
