Question

Explain how plants make thier food​

Answer 1

Plants make their food by the process of photosynthesis.

Step-by-step explanation:

During photosynthesis, plants utilise carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll, to produce glucose and oxygen.

`6CO_(2) + 12H_(2)O (sunlight)/(chlorophyll) >C _(6)H_(12) O_(6) + 6O_(2) + 6H_(2)O`

Carbon dioxide is obtained from the atmosphere through stomata, while water is obtained from the soil through roots. The oxygen is released through the stomata and starch is stored as food.

Answer 2

Plants are called producers because they make – or produce – their own food. 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. ... The foods are called glucose and starch.
