Answer:

chloroplasts

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants eat "glucose" and in order to do this, it needs to process its food through the so-called "photosynthesis." This process happens in the plant's organelle called the "chloroplasts." The energy from the sun is being captured by the chloroplasts. Plants absorb water coming from the roots and gets carbon dioxide from the surroundings. The combination of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide leads to the release of oxygen and other organic compounds that are rich in energy such as "glucose" (sugar). This is how the plant survives.
