They use something called "photosynthesis" in the leaves. It stores the sunlight for food. If you don't know how plants break down food, then you're probably in a grade lower than fourth, because that is when they mention about plants breaking down food.

The digestion in a plant is done by its living cells. Plants digest their food using the energy of sunlight and this process is called photosynthesis. The sugar from photosynthesis is the basic plant food.

Yes but only when they aren't photosynthesizing. It is normally in the dark at night when there isn't any light for photosynthesis. It is called respiration when glucose is broken down to get energy. It releases carbon dioxide.

No, it releases oxygen. Animals release CO2 which the plants use in photosynthesis.

Besides that, everything is right.

Dude their food is pretty much already broken down, and yes they do break down the their "food" a little, like separating and adding molecules little.

Plants must produce ATP(Universal energy carrier) by breaking down molecules such as glucose.

So yes, it can.
