Question

How is food prepared in leaves ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Their roots take up water and minerals from the ground and their leaves absorb a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air. They convert these ingredients into food by using energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis, which means 'making out of light'.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Plants make their own food and leaves are the food-making machines (autotrophs) during the process of photosynthesis. They are able to turn water, carbon dioxide and sunlight into a nutritious substance called glucose, which in turn provides sustenance for plants and trees.
