sort of, the plant uses photo-synthesis to break down glucose for energy, but the plant also breaks down other ingredients to help it thrive.

Plants convert radiant energy from the sun into mechanical energy which is used to help them grow-?

Plants use radiant energy from the sun in the process of photosynthesis to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This glucose provides energy for plant growth and development, and oxygen is released as a byproduct. Mechanical energy is not involved in this process.


What is the main product of photosynthesis?

The main product of photosynthesis is glucose, which is a type of sugar. This glucose molecule serves as the main source of energy for plants to grow and carry out their metabolic functions.


What two products are created by photosynthesis?

The two main products of photosynthesis are glucose (sugar) and oxygen. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose as a source of energy and oxygen as a byproduct released into the atmosphere.


Where is glucose created?

Glucose is created through a process called photosynthesis, which occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells. During photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This glucose is then used as an energy source by the plant for growth and maintenance.


Does sunlight affect the growth of plants?

Yes. Sunlight is a necessity for plants to perform photosynthesis which is how they make food (glucose). This glucose is needed for the plant so survive and more is needed to help the plant grow. Without the solar energy from the sun plants can't live or grow. Also, if a plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will not grow as much as it would otherwise. However, too much sunlight can also harm plants. It depends on the particular plant as to how much sunlight is needed.
