The leafy parts of a plant contain tiny green structures called chloroplasts. The chloroplasts are filled with chlorophyll, and this is where the green color comes. Chlorophyll captures the energy in sunlight and oxidizes water and carbon dioxide (as well as carbon monoxide to a lesser degree) to form fructose and other energy rich compounds. This process is called photosynthesis.

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.

When plants convert the sun's energy into food, which type of energy does the sun energy become?

The sun's energy is converted into chemical energy during photosynthesis, which is stored in the form of glucose molecules. This chemical energy is then used by the plant for growth and vital functions.

Do plants grow better in the sun or without sun?

Plants grow better in the sun, because sunlight provides the necessary energy a plant needs. Without sunlight (sun), the plant will most likely die.


Where do plants get sunlight?

Plants get sunlight from the sun, which provides the necessary light energy for photosynthesis to occur. Light is absorbed by special pigments in plant cells called chlorophyll, which helps convert sunlight into chemical energy that fuels the plant's growth and development.


What conditions are optimal for plant survival?

Does plants have energy from the sun?

Yes they get energy through photosynthesis. The chlorophyll inside plant cells convert sunlight into ATP which goes to the mitochondria and is turned into energy
