Every plant, whether they are colored or not, makes their own food through the process of photosynthesis, when a plant uses sunlight, carbon dioxide (CO2), and water (H2O) to make glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2).

Can red colour plant make its own food?

No, red color in plants is due to the presence of pigments like anthocyanins and is not directly related to their ability to make food through photosynthesis. Plants with red pigments can still make their own food through photosynthesis, just like plants with green pigments.


What is the process by which plants make food is?

The process in which plants make their food is known as photosynthesis.


What is the green coloured chemical called that is found in leaves and helps plants to make their own food using the energy from the sun?

The green pigment found in leaves that helps plants make food using sunlight is called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight during photosynthesis, converting it into chemical energy that the plant can use for growth and metabolism.


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.


How do coloured plants make their own food?

Colored plants make their own food through a process called photosynthesis. They have special pigments called chlorophyll that absorb light energy from the sun. This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, a type of sugar that the plant can use for energy.
