What is the chemical process whereby plants produce food inside their leaves?

Green leaves contain 'chlorophyll'. It is the compound that gives leaves their 'green' color and is found in the cells where leaves absorb sunlight, in order to be able to 'photosynthesize' molecules of glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants use sunlight and water to convert carbon-dioxide (plus other chemicals) to energy (in the form of certain sugars etc) and oxygen. The sugars (glucose for e.g).could be referred to as 'food' as they allow the plant to produce energy! Just like we can have more energy after drinking a sugary drink, plants have more energy to grow, or produce flowers and fruit, by using sunlight and carbon-dioxide, making their own sugars through photosynthesis!

What is the sum of physical and chemical processes inside the cell that sustain health and life and produce energy?
Metabolism
What process take places inside choroplast?
Photosynthesis; in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy-food.
What is the name of the process that makes chlorophyll inside a plant?
There is no specific name to the process, this is simply a metabolic process that produces the pigment chlorophyll. Photosynthesis, however it the process that is used by the chlorophyll to produce food from sunlight
Why is chlorophyll important in the process?
Photosynthesisis the process needed for chlorophyll to work. Chlorophyll is a chemical inside a plant which gives plants their green color.
Why is wood burning chemical energy?
how chemical energy produce in firewood useful
What is something that will or will not happen?
A chemical process is melting the the molecules that are inside the object
How does the oxidation of molecules inside cells differ from the burning of substances outside cells?
Oxidation of molecules inside cells is a slow, controlled process that is used to drive the biochemistry of the cell by making ATP, the cellular fuel. Burning outside the cell is a rapid and destructive process which generally does not produce useful chemical products (although cigarette smokers might disagree) but is used instead to produce heat and light.
The chemical process called respiration takes place inside the body's?
Mitochondria
What is the sum of physical and chemical processes inside the cell that sustain health and life and produce energy?
Metabolism
Why do batteries in my trailer get hot?
Because of the chemical reactions inside the battery. I can only assume that the battery is the discharge state, or has a "LOAD" on it. (Even though batteries get hot while being charged). The battery uses a process of electrochemical reaction to produce electrons. This process is what is causeing the heat.
What type of chemicals do fireflies use to glow?
fireflies produce some chemical reactions inside their body and that will allow them to light up and this process is known as bio luminescence. When oxygen combines with calcium,adenosine triphosphate and chemical luciferin in the presence of luciferase, a bio luminescent enzyme is produced.
What process take places inside choroplast?
Photosynthesis; in which energy from sunlight is converted into chemical energy-food.
Which process is needed for chlorophyll to work?
Photosynthesis is the process needed for chlorophyll to work. Chlorophyll is a chemical inside a plant which gives plants their green color.
How do anacondas produce young?
By a process called ovoviviparity. The mother keeps the eggs inside of her body until they hatch.

How chemical weathering affect rock?
Chemical weathering affects rocks rain, wind or ice . Chemical weathering is the process that changes the composition ( the inside) of rocks on the earth surface.
What is the period whereby the egg develops into a baby inside the mother's womb?
Gestation
