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.

Chlorophyll: Chlorophyll is the green pigment that plants contain in their leaves. Sunlight: Sunlight is obtained by the plant during the daytime through leaves. Carbon dioxide: The carbon dioxide which human beings and animals release into the atmosphere is used by the plants.
