Plants get their energy from sunlight and generate food through photosynthesis (using water, carbon dioxide and energy from the sun to generate carbohydrates). Whether or not they live in fresh water has nothing to do with this, though being immersed in water like seaweed is would effect access to light.

What can make food from sunlight water and carbon dioxide?

Plants use the process of photosynthesis to make food from sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, plants capture energy from sunlight and convert it into chemical energy in the form of glucose, which serves as their food source.


Where do plants get the energy to make food?

Photosynthesis is the act of trapping the light energy from the sun and turning it into chemical energy in the molecule starch. The energy it traps comes from high energy photons.

What uses energy from sunlight to make energy-rich food?

Plants use energy from sunlight during the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (energy-rich food) and oxygen. This is how plants produce their own food and release oxygen as a byproduct.


How is photosynthesis important to the tundra?

Photosynthesis in the tundra is important as it is the process through which plants produce energy using sunlight. This energy is vital for the survival of plants and provides food for the animals in the tundra ecosystem. Additionally, photosynthesis helps to regulate the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, contributing to the global carbon cycle.


What do you call plants that make their own food?

Plants that make their own food are called autotrophs. They use photosynthesis, a process that converts light energy into chemical energy, to produce their own food using water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight.


What is the source of a plants energy?

The sun is the source of the plants energy. Through the process of photosynthesis the plant turns sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into food for energy and structure.
