I believe it's called photosynthesis. In photosynthesis the plants use the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide into sugars and other compounds.

Where does energy in your food originally come from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Where do plants capture energy and make complex molecules?
This question refers to how plants use sunlight and fixing atmospheric carbon into the process of photosynthesis. The elementary reaction for photosynthesis is 6CO2 + 6H20 = C6H12O6 + 6O2.
Why do eagles depend on sunlight for their energy?
The plants use the sunlight, the mice eat the plants, the hawks eat the mice. 'Tis the circle of life.
Are organisms at the bottom of the energy pyramid always producers?
Yes because the consumers like mice and antelopes eat the producers (plants, example: grass flowers) and the producers don't eat anything. They make energy from sunlight ( basically growing, plants use sunlight to grow).
How does sunlight provide energy to all organisms?
The only organisms that can directly convert sunlight into energy are plants. Plants intake solar light and, through a series of complex chemical reactions, produce food and stored energy. This energy travels along the food chain as plants are eaten by animals, and animals by other animals. However, as each organism consumes the one before it, only about 10% of consumed organism's energy is transferred.
What are organisms that can capture energy from sunlight or chemicals called?
Green plants and some bacteria can capture energy from sunlight and chemicals respectively.
How is sunlight transferred in an ecosystem?
The plants capture the energy of sunlight through photosynthesis. They use the energy to fix carbon and to synthesize carbohydrates.
Why do plants contain pigment?
Pigment means colour. They use chlorophyll to capture sunlight energy
What is the green plant cell part that traps and use sunlight?
Chloroplasts are found in plants to capture light energy
Why do plants need energy of sunlight?
Plants use the energy from sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.
Plants use energy in what to make food?
Plants use the energy in sunlight to make food
Why Plants will not photosynthesis in the dark?
Actually plants do grow in the dark! However, they still need sunlight to capture energy in order to grow. Plants that grow in the dark are known as CAM plants. CAM plants are often found in the dessert and include cacti, cycads, lycopods, an pineapples. They capture sunlight during they day and produce carbohydrates at night. Carbohydrates are the building blocks the plants use for structural material and stored energy.
What eventually happens to energy from the sun which is captured by the plants in the wood?
it is used up by plants, or used for our solar-powered stuff (cars, caculators...etc)
Why do plants need the energy of sunlight?
Plants need sunlight to perform photosynthesis, they use this to stay alive, they absorb the water through there stems and use the sunlight to generate energy from the water
Where does energy in your food originally come from?
Energy in food comes from the sun. The sun is the source of energy in all food, because at some level in the food chain animals rely on animals that eat plants and plants derive their energy from the sun.
Plants use the energy of sunlight to carry out?
photosynthesis
How do plants produce energy?
The plants produce energy with a function called photosynthesis. They use sunlight to make energy.
