Question

How do cells make food?

Answer 1

Plants use energy from sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into an energy-rich sugar called glucose. This process is called photosynthesis, which means “making things with light”. Photosynthesis takes place inside capsules in the leaf cells, called CHLOROPLASTS.

Answer 2

Plant cells use their chloroplasts via the Calvin cycle to store the suns energy in the form of ATP, and more complex forms such as glucose and fructose. They form the these sugars by the basic reaction process

6CO2 + 12H2O + light -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
carbon dioxide+water+ light->glucose+ oxygen+water

I could explain the reaction, but that includes typing a bunch of RuBisCOs, 3-phosphoglycerate, 3-phosphoglyceric acid, and other complex enzyme names that take a long time to type and I have no idea what they mean. hope that helped
