All fungi grow using sunlight and carbon dioxide. This is because they all carry out photosynthesis to make their own food.

What part of speech is the word photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is a noun. It describes the process by which carbohydrates, carbon dioxide, water, and salts, are converted using sunlight as energy.
The atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide is regulated by?
Plants play the biggest role in regulating the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. They do so by using it during photosynthesis and release oxygen.
How is the carbon cycle related to a food web?
Carbon dioxide is used by plants to form glucose, which is like special food that plants make for themselves using light energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide (CO2). They get this carbon dioxide from organisms that use respiration instead of photosynthesis. During respiration, cells take in oxygen, and CO2 is left as an end product. The plants then use this carbon dioxide during photosynthesis with an end product of oxygen. It goes on and on in a never ending carbon cycle. Without plants there would be no animals, and if their were too many plants or too many animals that wouldn't work in a food chain either. Sorry if THAT doesn't answer your question. :)
What are the functions of the chloroplast?
Chlorophyll is a green chemical inside chloroplasts. It carries out photosynthesis, which makes energy for a plant using sunlight. In fact, when you get a grass stain on your clothes, the green stuff is chlorophyll.
What is the role of man in maintaning earth's capacity to sustain life?
Humanity is currently self-destructing by it's overuse of carbon for fuel in almost all forms of energy production. The levels of carbon in the atmosphere comes in many forms. The signal for which is the level of carbon dioxide. But this is one of many carbon containing molecules that are oversaturated in our atmosphere, like heavy hydrocarbons and methane. All of these chemicals are a natural occurance in the atmosphere, but the levels they are at today is extremely high. To the point that if they are to stay on their current trend, then humanity will not be able to survive in the atmosphere resulting from our own output. Specifically, carbon dioxide will raise the temperature a few degree per year, which will fuel hurricanes and monsoons across the continents; heavy hydrocarbons are a toxin and will cause massive heath problems across the human body; and methane also a toxin that can cause organ failure and poison our blood. Because it is humanity's overproduction of combustible fuels that is driving these negative effects on earth, it is our role to stop using as many carbon based fuels as we can. This includes using wind, water and nuclear power safely. Stopping the use of carbon fuels in our cars and homes directly by transistioning to a new fuel souce like batteries or hydrogen.
What happens to carbon dioxide and water in the chloroplasts?
Carbon dioxide is reduced using energy of sunlight to glucose.Water is broken to get electrons.
What happens to carbon dioxide during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is converted into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight and water.
How does the plant get its sugars and why?
it gets it sugars by making it using water,sunlight, and carbon dioxide
Which organisms are producers fungi raccoons grasshoppers or corn plants?
Corn plants make their own food using sunlight and carbon dioxide. The others are consumers. That makes plants the producers in a food web.
Are organisms such as algae and plants that absorb sunlight and use its energy to make food molecules using carbon dioxide and water?
Plants, use carbon dioxide (CO2) water (H2O) and sunlight to make energy (photosynthesis).
Do plants using sunlight produce carbon dioxide?
No, they produce oxygen which humans breathe in. then we breathe out carbon dioxide giving to the plant so the cycle may start again.
What is a process that occurs in plants that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds using energy from sunlight?
photosynthesis
What two things must be taken in by a plant for photosynthesis?
The two things that a plant takes in for photosynthesis are : light and carbon dioxide.
What two things are formed by plants when carbon dioxide and water are combined using sunlight as the energy?
oxygen and ATP
What is the meaning of photosintisis?
Photosynthesis (if that's what you meant) is the conversion of carbon dioxide into sugars by plants (mainly) using sunlight.
Which three things are needed by the plant to produce food?
Sunlight, a photosynthetic compound such as chlorophyll, and traces of magnesium.
What is a process involved in recycling carbon dioxide within ecosystems?
Photosynthesis is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.
