What do leaves need to make food?

Answer 1

Answer Chlorophyll in leaves takes the energy from sunlight, converts it into plant starches and sugars, and feeds the rest of the plant. Answer Plants have a very elegant and complicated cycle that allows them to capture the light of the sun and combine it with atmospheric carbon dioxide to create sugar. This sugar is essentially the plant's food, and it can be exported to newly developing leaves, or stored in the form of starch for a later use. A link can be found below.

Answer 2

For almost all plants this is true. But parasitic plants draw on their host's food supply, even though they have leaves of their own.

And there is an orchid, Gastrodia, that feeds off the fungi that first invaded the seed.

So for most rules, there may be found exceptions.Yes leaves make food for the plant by photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight.

Answer 3

leaves makes food.

Answer 4

leaves do not make food, the food comes from the soil through roots, the leaves do have an effective means of storing the energy - photosynthesis.

Answer 5

A leaf makes food through a process called photosynthesis. The leaf takes in carbon dioxide, sunlight and water and makes a chemical reaction. This reaction creates oxygen and glucose.

Answer 6

Yes they can. The process is called photosynthesis. They can make sugar and other foods.

Answer 7

Leaves need sunlight in order to make food. Without sunlight, the plants will not be able to get energy to make oxygen and sugars

Answer 8

Plants use glucose (which is sugar) for food, glucose is produced when the plant undergoes photosynthesis.

Answer 9

photosynthesis.
