Answers
Answer:
1. Plant are autrophs,which means they produce their own food.They use the process of photosynthesis to transfer water,sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxyge and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel.
2. Plant absorbs sunlight and turn that energy into food;the process is known as photosynthesis.
3. Photosynthesis cells contain special pigments that absorbs the light energy that do why chlorophyll essential for photosynthesis.
4. Fungi are mostly saprobes(also known as saprophytes)organism that derive nutrition from decaying organic matter.They obtain their nutrients from dead or decomposing orgain matter mainly plant material.
5. Photosynthesis is the process by which organism that contain the pigment chlorophyll convert light energy into chemical energy which can be stored in the molecular bonds of organic molecular.
6. The raw materials needed for photosynthesis is water and carbon dioxide.
