To fix this. Plants absorb nutrients from the surrounding area. They pull in water through their roots, using nutrients in the soil. They also gain energy from water through the roots, and tiny openings on the leaves. Lastly, they absorb light in a process called Photosynthesis. This process uses Carbon Dioxide, water, and light to cause a chemical reaction within the plant thereby producing sugars which the plant uses, and emissions of oxygen which we breathe. Plants then use these resources to grow, flower, seed, or produce fruit which is another form of plant seed.

The chemical formula for Photosynthesis is: 6CO2(Carbon Dioxide)+6H20 (Water)+Light=C6H12O6(Sugars) & 6O2 (Oxygen.)

Plants use sunlight and CO2 to create glucose (sugar) and combine this to make other substances and build cells. Glucose production is expressed by the equation for photosynthesis: 6CO2 + 6H2O + Energy -> C6H12O6 + 6O2 (where the extra O2 is the oxygen released into the atmosphere by plants).

More accurately, plants don't prouce energy they just change it between different forms.

In photosynthesis they convert energy from light and carbon dioxide, into energy stored as glucose.

Plants may then also use this glucose in respiration, converting the stored chemical energy into something called ATP (adenosine-tri-phosphate). ATP is like the energy currency that many living things use.

plants use energy by using it for resources. It is helpful to the plant because it can make lots of stuff out of it like food.
