Explanation:

Synthesis of plant food other than carbohydrates

You have just learnt that plants synthesise carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis. The carbohydrates are made of carbon , hydrogen and oxygen. These are used to synthesise other components of food such as proteins and fats.

Soil has certain bacteria that convert gaseous nitrogen into a usable form and release it into the soil. These soluble forms are absorbed by the plants along with water. ... Plants can then synthesise components of food other than carbohydrates such as proteins and fats.

During the light-dependent reactions, the energy from sunlight is used by the chloroplast to create energy molecules: ATP and NADPH. These energy molecules power the Calvin cycle, which creates carbohydrates (G3P) from CO2. An organism that can make its own food.
