What do green plants need to release energy from food?

Green plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide in order to carry out photosynthesis, the process by which they convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. This glucose is then used by the plants as a source of energy to carry out various cellular processes.


What things are needed for green plants to make food?

Green plants need sunlight, water, carbon dioxide, and chlorophyll to make their own food through photosynthesis. Sunlight provides energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a process facilitated by chlorophyll, which gives plants their green color.


What is needed by green plants to make food?

Green plants need sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to make food through the process of photosynthesis. They use the energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen.


Where do plants store chemical energy?

Plants store chemical energy in the form of glucose molecules, which are produced through photosynthesis. Glucose is stored in various plant parts such as roots, stems, and seeds, where it can be used for energy production during periods of low light or other stress conditions.


Why are most leaves green in color?

Leaves are green because of a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is essential for photosynthesis, the process by which plants make their own food. It absorbs sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, giving plants the energy they need to grow. The green color of chlorophyll is what gives leaves their green color.

How are green plants different from animals with respect to the food they need?

Green plants are autotrophs. They prepare their own food with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, minerals and the green pigment chlorophyll. Plants which doesn't have chlorophyll doesn't have green colour. So, they cannot make their own food. These plants and animals are called heterotrophs as they directly or indirectly depend on green plants for food.


What process that plants and animals use sunlight to make food?

Green plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food from sunlight. Only green plants can make their own food. Other plants (like mushrooms) and animals do not make their own food, but get nutrition from green plants (or dead green plants). Animals do not make food from sunlight. If they could, they would not need to eat.


Why do most food chains begin with green plants?

Food chains start with green plants because only green plants are able to convert the suns energy into sugars that all creatures including plant need to grow.
