By means of a catalyst called chlorophyll, plants are able to use the energy of sunlight to combine water and carbon dioxide (both of which compounds are readily available in the environment) into a simple sugar. With that sugar, other substances can then be made, using sugar as a source of energy as well as a building block for more complicated molecules such as cellulose, and using other substances absorbed from the soil.
